That's my problem - I love to spin but then I can't decide what to do with it - so far almost all, of it except for the pitiful first skeins, have went to my daughter that way I don't have to worry about it and she gets some handspun.
One spindle has the light color that I got from the raw jacob fleece that my DH bought in Murfreesboro last fall. After separating the colors in the fleece, washing and drying it, I started with the light color. It reminds me of frost because it has some of the gray blended in it but not much. 
Oh - must tell you about the carding tools I am using! Found these at a local pet groomers, they are great. They are called Frank's Universal Dog Brushes. Made in Germany, larger than most brushes, curved just like wool carding combs but just cost $6 each. I really believe they must be made by the same company that makes wool combs. They are plastic but strong. Someday, maybe, I will have real wool combs - but now these are great for someone that really don't what they are doing!
Okay, the other spindle (my handmade one - isn't that cool to be able to say!), has the jacob roving that I bought last fall. It was already ready to spin - so soft and smooth. Beautiful shades of jacob - and the name of the sheep was Teva (named after the shoes) - isn't that great - this yarn will be called TEVA!
