In this Spindle Spotlight I am featuring the Spindolyn designed and invented by Cady May. This unique spindle is a truly supported style spindle and is a great tool for those looking graduate from a suspended to a support style of spindle.
Also, I misspoke in the video; when you are support spinning your hand will never be down by the base or the bowl (I blame the cocktail I was drinking during the filming). You will want to keep your flicking hand up near the top of the spindle-sorry.

Spindle Style Pros:
completely supported
spindle and bowl all in one
speed varies based on "flick"
consistent spin
balanced spin
super easy to get started
can spin any type of fiber
custom options available (contact maker)
Spindle Style Cons:
not readily available
does not hold a lot of fiber
short shaft
beads in this particular base are awkward
easy to over spin single if you aren't paying attention
hook seems redundant in a fully supported spindle
