For information about OYA: See Piecework 1996 July-August starting on page
22. It discusses the history, as far as it is known. Also, 2011 July-August
has an article on Turkish Oya. I've read that every country in the middle
east has its own name for Oya.

Does anyone know anything about the history of Oya - knotted Mediterranean
needle lace? Particularly how old it is. History prior to 1900.

Yes, Jane. I have this new book. I have changed the subject line by
adding Knotted to Needle Lace.
Criticism:
Bibilla Knotted Lace by Dickson
Needle Lace Flowers by Figen Cakir. I may get that for
Christmas from DH (on my wish list on his Amazon account- I like to make
things simple). Does anybody have this book? Any comments?
I have both books, bought one (Dickson) locally and the other (Cakir)

Shirley, there are some basic instructions for Oya in the book Armenian
Needlelace and Embroidery by Alice Kasparian. There was also some
instructions in an old Dover publication about Armenian Needlelace, but I
don't have access to that publication at the moment.
