gunnybags
Coarse fiber sacks
Gunnybags are sacks made from gunny—a coarse, heavy fabric woven from jute or hemp fibers.
They're used for storing and transporting bulk goods like grain, potatoes, or coffee beans.
Also called burlap bags or gunny sacks: We filled the gunnybags with sand to hold back the floodwater.
