I was really looking forward to receiving this scarf after all the reviews, and I was not disappointed with regards to it being very warm, as it was so soft and comfy and long enough to wrap around.  I do have a few issues though:  lint from the scarf lingers on dark clothes and is not easy to remove and the thread gets caught easily on items and starts to unravel.  As it is quite light, I wonder how washing will affect the material.
I would recommend this item.
