Detailed explanation-1: -James Hargreaves’ ‘Spinning Jenny’, the patent for which is shown here, would revolutionise the process of cotton spinning. The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun, so by turning a single wheel, the operator could now spin eight threads at once.
Detailed explanation-2: -The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle spinning frame, and was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Before the spinning jenny, the flying shuttle dramatically increased the speed of weaving cloth. Around the same time the spinning jenny was created, Richard Arkwright invented the water frame, a mechanical device powered by water wheels that was used to spin thread.
