Sometimes naming a yarn or a design is the hardest part! Giving a nod to New England, I named this shawl for what it is. “Wicked” is New England for “very”, and practical…that’s just New England. To make the shawl, you only need one skein and you’ll use almost all of it. It knits up quickly and blocks out to an ample wingspan of 80 inches. The extra increases at the end create a curved swoosh shape, which stays put. One skein, no waste, quick knit, good size, good shape—wicked practical!
