Detailed explanation-1: -It created new machines, which allowed for many more things to be done in a shorter time with fewer workers, so cloth production increased rapidly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Textiles have been identified as the catalyst of technological changes and thus their importance during the Industrial Revolution cannot be overstated. The application of steam power stimulated the demand for coal. The demand for machinery and rails stimulated the iron industry.
Detailed explanation-3: -As coal and water began driving the efficiency of the production of goods, so did the demand rise. Textile factories, or mills, began to improve the manufacturing of fabrics. Machines allowed factories to produce textiles on a much larger scale by directly weaving thread and turning it into fabric.
Detailed explanation-4: -The machine improved weaving efficiency and reduced labor needs because it could be operated with only one operator. James Hargreaves created the spinning jenny in 1764, which allowed a machine with many spindles of thread to be spun at one time.
