This marvelous canvas bag, handpainted by Kary Miksis, is a true work of art and I have treated it as such. It has never been used, on display only. It measures 13 1/2" wide , 8 1/2" high not including handles, and 7" deep. Top opening is bordered in tan suede and handles are covered with suede at the grip. There are pockets everywhere. It is extremely strong and well made, and will carry a lot of spindles and fiber. $65
