It's a worsted weight, but there are a ton of color options, not to mention a sale from Little Knits (go buy it because I wish I could but am on a strict post-tax budget!).

It would definitely make the sleeves pop. Or what you could also do is pick your favorite color from the Noro and use that color as a solid for the body. Cherry Tree Hill would be very nice as Chris suggested. I've used Louet Gems and it is a nice yarn to work with. I'm not sure I would pick a light color to go with the sleeves though. I think a dark body would help the lighter colors in the sleeves pop more. Linnet’s idea about the black is really good in my mind. It would definitely make the sleeves pop.

I've never used them, I just remember thinking they were very pretty :) Doesn’t Louet Gems have some jewel tones in sportweigth and sock weight?

Black would really make the colors pop, or a lighter neutral would tone the colors down. That might open up more yarn possibilities, maybe even the Baby Cashmerino? I think using the Noro on the neckband and other details would pull the sweater together into a cohesive piece. Maybe you could use a neutral color for the body?
