Using your della Q Maker's Red Canvas Tote is a breeze. First, load up all your knitting or crocheting supplies into the tote's many pockets. The large main compartment is perfect for your yarn, while the smaller pockets can hold needles, stitch markers, and patterns. Attach the detachable strap to carry it around with ease. When you're ready to work on your project, use the yarn feeder and cutter that come with the tote. To close the tote, simply snap it shut with the Oh Snap buttons. As for maintenance, keep the waxed canvas and leather clean by gently wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the tote to excessive moisture as it may damage the waxed finish. The bottom feet are there to protect the tote from scuffing on the floor, so make sure to place it on a flat surface. And don't forget to keep your dot journal and darning needles safe inside the tote for when you need them.
