Very soft, but it definitely feels like artificial fiber. Bit tight to wear as an infinity scarf, but its still attractive as a regular scarf. Fabric is very warm, didn't have that plastic odor to it when delivered. Color was as close to the picture as possible. Would've rated it one star higher except it it doesn't work *quite* as a well as in intended as a loop scarf, but it's nevertheless a good, inexpensive buy.I would have given five stars, but it had a horrible odor out of the package. Overall, though, it was beyond my expectations because of the low price. I would purchase again.I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SCARF!!!!! My friend came to visit me from out of state and she had the bright blue/teal one. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed one as well. There are so many ways you can wear this scarf. My favorite way is bunching it up and wearing it how it's pictured. Even though it has many holes, it's still very warm.This is a cute scarf! But, when you make it into an infinity scarf and wear it, it's very bushy and big and long. Some might like this but I don't. I might have to cut it shorter to make it work. I can wear it other ways and it looks kind of cute. I like how it can change from infinity to not infinity! Great product, just not for me...They're nice, warm, and comfy. Just wished the scarf was a little big longer so when I double it, it's not too tight/suffocating.I didn't know the ends were not connects, I should have read everything. However, the pink is a pretty pale and it is super soft while still looking elegant when worn.I love this scarf. It looks just as pictured. The color looks great on me and I love the way the fringe looks. I can throw it on with just about anything and it goes very well. So happy with this purchase. Great price, too!This scarf is a tradtional scarf so you just can't create the look on the photo used. I ordered a different scarf from this same listing that I love! I can wear this one in different ways, but I wanted to be able to have the look above.
