This olive green scarf is viscose (or so it says on the label) a natural fibre made from cellulose, but has a textured linen feel, although quite silky at the same time unlike linen. There is slightly more weight to it although it is an open weave. I love this texture, it hangs and drapes well. The colour is definitely olive green, with a warm yellow base, but on the brighter side of olive green, true to the colour in the photo.
