This is a nice scarf for the price. I bought it to use as a hair wrap while I sleep. The idea was to protect my hair from snagging and tangling throughout the night. The knit is not tight enough to use it for that purpose... It's too lightweight for winter in Maine, but it will make a nice fall scarf. The misty brown color comes off more taupe/brown than the purple/brown shown in the picture. It's still a nice color.
