She also produces a line of hand-knotted rugs, produced by expert weavers in Nepal, that are made of hand-dyed Tibetan wool and Chinese silk.

Inspired by a hat John Ross’ mom Yasuko made for her son’s first New York winter, designers John Ross and Don Carney established PATCH NYC Inc. in the fall of 1997. Using hand-dyed wool from the Union Square Farmers Market and vintage buttons for embellishment, the designers created a small collection of hand-crochet wool hats that became an immediate success. PATCH NYC’s appreciation for color, vintage embroidery, appliqué and beading techniques quickly become the signature style of the brand.
