Yarn for the Hourglass

I realise that I'm rather late signing up for this KAL, but I've just ordered the yarn for my Hourglass Sweater. After much calculating and fretting I finally decided on texere's Kelso Wool Tweed in 'berry'. It feels a bit scratchy to the touch on the sample that I have but it says 'soft' in the description, so I hope that it will improve in softness after washing... At least, with £2.90 for 100g it's well within my price range!

Can't wait to start knitting! :)
