Detailed Solution

Spinning Jenny was a Spinning machine.
The spinning jenny was a technologically advanced device that was used for spinning yarn. It was devised by James Hargreaves. It provided for the turning of one single wheel to set a number of spindles in motion. It increases the production process by enhancing productivity. It also reduced the labour demand as several threads could be woven at a single time. This created fear among the women workers who were involved in the spinning process.
