‘Firkete’ or hairpin lace is made by threading beads, sequins, coral or pearls onto thread of a single color. ‘Çaput’ meanwhile, which is more common in the villages where very beautiful and creative examples are produced with limited means, is done by cutting and folding colorful pieces of coarse cloth into squares and using a crochet hook. Crochet hooks are also used for adding tassels. Beaded edging, which is frequently encountered in Anatolia, is done by threading beads of various colors onto the ends of lace made either with a sewing needle or a crochet hook.
Finally, silk thread and cocoon fragments are the materials of ‘koza’ or cocoon lace, whose primary motifs are created by the cocoons and later added on to lace produced with either a sewing needle or a crochet hook.

IF FLOWERS COULD TALK
Woman’s delicacy, sensitivity, creativity, fertility, philosophy and oneness with nature are observed in the most beautiful examples of lace, an elegant and refined art that has its own mysterious language.
