Edit: After wearing this scarf for about a week, I've found that it's actually a really warm scarf, but it's still itchy on my face. I changed my rating from one star to 4 because I gave it some time, just hate itching. I didn't like it at all. The knit is big, not warm like my old school scarves. Plus it's so itchy, hard against my skin. I was so excited about this scarf because it's 100% wool, skin friendly but it sucks. It feels like maybe it's just for show and not actual usability. Very pretty but rubbish for heat and wear and tear.
