Is this a silly yarn choice?

I was considering making the Argyle pullover shown in Creative Knitting, Jan 2007. For the body, I would be using Nature’s Wool bulky and for the diamonds, Malabrigo. The colors look awesome together and the gauge works…but I feel a bit silly using the scratchier yarn for the body and a soft yarn for the accents.

On the other hand, I only have one skein of the malabrigo in that color and I don’t really like doing scarves so…

Is this just silliness and I should hang on to the malabrigo for something else? I have a bunch of malabrigo in other colors (enough for a sweater or two).

Why don’t you knit up a swatch to see how you like them together? My only concern would be that the malabrigo may look a little out of place in the middle of all of that Nature’s Wool Bulky. Of course, until you actually see it, you won’t be able to tell.

If it works for you, it’s not silly at all. :slight_smile:
