I have to purchase some hand carding brushes and we can get started. Looks like we might be able to knit a nice project from all the fiber you gave.

I hear that you can use poodle brushes to card wool, and I already have one poodle brush (but not the poodle- she died), and then I'd make myself a drop spindle and try spinning, just to see if I could do it. Then depending on how much yarn it made (or how successful I was) I'd knit a sample. It might hook me, it might not, but I'm always up for learning a new skill.
