...I feel, therefore, that I’m missing some crucial details, such as length, the thickness of the scarf and the weight of the wool. In any case, a wool scarf generally requires less fussing than cotton, silk or cashmere, which can require all sorts of complicated wrapping techniques. Folding a wool scarf in half, looping it around your neck and pulling the two ends through is typically the neatest approach and will nest nicely in your coat collar.
But the basic wraparound is warmer because the scarf can be positioned higher up the neck. In the latter case, you can either tuck the ends in to your coat, creating an ascot effect, or (if the pattern is a fun one: Harry Potter stripes, Fair Isle) be more laissez-faire about it and leave those ends hanging long.
You also have one other option: Just go out and buy a scarf tube, commonly known as a snood.
