Thick and Thin Pullover

I hope everyone is staying healthy and maintaining their sanity in these trying times. You knitters out there probably know that knitting is a great way to past the time if you're stuck at home. I took time to finish off this thick and thin pullover that is inspired by a sweater I saw on a mannequin at Bloomingdales. My inspo sweater was all white and I think the thicker yarn was more cotton-y than mine. I used Berroco Brielle, which is an alpaca blend, for the thick yarn and a fingering weight alpaca yarn whose name I forgot for the thin yarn. The neck and armhole trim was done with the thinner yarn held double. I'm happy that holding it double also makes it look whiter because I wanted a whiter and brighter look around the neckline. This sweater has a tiny bit of positive ease and I love the fit and drape. However, it does feel a bit on the scratchy side. I'm not sure whether it's one or both of the yarns that's causing the scratchiness. I'm hoping it's not due to alpaca, since I just started a sweater in an alpaca and linen blend!
