Oh, congrats!
If you haven't spun before, just remember to be nice and patient with yourself. Don't practice on Merino or anything else short stapled, it will only make you cry
Try some romney or corriedale, or Blue faced leicester (my favorite, soft like Merino but much easier to spin). Top is easiest to start with.
I love spinning, it's one of the most relaxing activities I have found. There is a rhythm to it. Be careful though, spinning turned out to be a gateway drug to me, now I'm weaving, dying, and plan to move out to the country so that I can have some fiber animals (pygora, yumm!).
