wool scarf

Knitted neck wrap

A wool scarf is a long strip of woolen fabric worn around the neck for warmth or as a fashion accessory.

Wool's natural insulating properties make it ideal for cold weather: She wrapped her wool scarf tighter against the wind.

The term distinguishes from scarves made of silk, cotton, or synthetic materials.
