Is the Spindolyn different from spinning on a drop spindle?
Yes and No. The spindolyn is a semi support spindle. On a supported spindle such as the spindolyn, tahkli, or the kind of spindle that rides in a bowl, you draft away from the spin by moving your fiber hand upward, always upward, away from the newly spun yarn. On a drop spindle, gravity is pulling the yarn down, away from you as a spin. The drafting technique you choose to use is the same, however.
