she is using a bottom whorl drop spindle and pre-drafting the fiber before adding the twist and winding it onto the 'cop' of the spindle.....

I'm not sure...I can't really follow what they are doing, it looked complicated ^^ But it does look to be something like that.

So you just pull and twist?

Is it sheep's wool or alpaca fiber she's spinning? Looks like sheep's wool, but video title says alpaca....
