Answer

SHAWL

A shawl is a simple garment, typically a piece of fabric worn loosely over the shoulders, upper body, and arms. Shawls have been worn across many cultures for centuries, from the famous Kashmir shawls of India to the warm woolen wraps of Scotland. They can serve both practical purposes for warmth and decorative purposes as fashion accessories.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the SH consonant blend at the start, which is fairly common in English. When you see an S in position one, consider whether it might be part of a blend like SH, ST, or SC to help narrow down your options.
