This is a very warm scarf but a warning to anyone who has any kind of wool sensitivity I have no sensitivity to wool so may I wear them Any kind of wool but it's very itchy and not soft, if you want something SOFT take italian merino wool or cashmere but it's a very warm scarf and costs 30-35 its money. It says it's merino wool, it's merino wool, but it's not premium merino wool and it's very scratchy, stiff, stiff and not soft but warm so worth the money
