The colors are very vivid and lovely, which is why I gave it a 3. I will probably just wear it as a scarf for winter, because it is heavier (thicker) than I expected and does not drape very well at all. I have tried various knotting and wrapping methods with it, and it's just too bulky to look good as a neck accessory, which is what I bought it for. Returning it isn't worth it so I guess it will just sit in a drawer waiting for the one month each year that I need a scarf for the cold.
