Needle lace, also known as "iğne oyası" in Turkish, is a traditional Turkish handicraft. It is a lace-making technique that is created using fine needles and threads. Typically, needle lace is made on fabric or muslin and adorned with various patterns, motifs, and colors. Each piece of needle lace is considered a work of art due to the intricate craftsmanship involved. Needle lace is widely practiced in Turkey, particularly in the Anatolian regions, and is used to embellish garments, linens, dowries, and other decorative purposes. It is an important part of traditional Turkish culture, reflecting the craftsmanship skills and aesthetic sensibility of the Turkish people.
