Oya means edging in Turkish.

Technique using needles, technique using crochet, technique using crochet, eneoya using sewing needle (iğne), mekikkioya using shuttle (mekik),
Or bonjuku oya, which is braided with beads (boncuk) and stones.
Until a while ago, it was said that women should be dexterous with their hands.
As one of the bridesmaids' tools, when the engagement is decided, a scarf with fine lace must be unveiled.
The skill of the bride is how dexterous this girl is.
Therefore, Turkish women learn this oya embroidery from their mothers from an early age.
In addition, oya, which is a traditional hobby of women, was also an element of killing time in the village pump meetings, where housewives from the neighborhood would gather to chat and spend lunch time over tea.
Recently, while the number of women who can knit oya is decreasing, BAHAR Baja continues to produce works in order to preserve traditional handicrafts.
