next spinning project

I have some undyed varied wool rovings (and maybe top) that I'm going to spin up next. I'm actually not sure what the wools are, since they are unlabeled after being in storage for quite some time. I decided to use them to learn long draw woolen spinning and how to 3-ply, so that's my challenge!  I have six ounces of natural brown coopworth (or corriedale, not sure), 4 ounces of a gray blue faced leicester or corriedale, and 8 ounces of natural white blue faced leicester or corriedale. I started on the brown yesterday, and have the first of three bobbins nearly done. Longdraw is fun, and fascinating to watch!
