A scarf can be of any suitable material from, for example, fine silk to the heaviest wool.

The word neckscarf is listed in only the Urban Dictionary, which makes it non-standard.
Stick to scarf or headscarf.

As two words, it appears a lot: neck scarf. Here's the page of Google results. I would only use it to describe the more decorative, thinner type of scarf which is tied in a bow or decorative way at the neck, much like the ones worn by many air hostesses as part of their uniform.
For a longer, warmer version to wear in winter, I would use just "scarf", and for the type worn by the Queen, a "headscarf".
