These are done using ordinary DK yarn (mostly acrylic or acrylic/wool mix) and 3mm needles. I've done a couple using bits of left-over sock wool and 3mm needles, and did try one with lace-weight wool on 2mm needles, but it looked awful, so I'm just counting it as an unsuccessful experiment!
For the cuff-down version I cast on 20 stitches for DK, 24 for sock/4-ply; for toe-up I use Judy's Magic Cast-on to cast on four stitches per needle. Apart from that, I've been experimenting with different heels.
