Hargreaves devises the spinning jenny

Assembled from 26 blocks · 1 evidence · 19 related

1. Story
2. A hand frame carrying multiple spindles, which allowed one spinner to draw and twist several threads at once and relieved the yarn shortage created by faster weaving. The conventional date is around 1764 and the patent was taken out in 1770. It required no power source and no factory, which is why the earliest mechanisation of textiles left the domestic system intact.
