Detailed Solution

The Spinning Jenny was a machine. In the early 1800s, a Spinning Jenny was a multi-spindle machine used to spin wool or cotton. James Hargreaves received a patent for the hand-powered Spinning Jenny in 1770. The transformation of the spinning wheel into the Spinning Jenny played a significant role in modernising the textile industry. By allowing a worker to work on eight or more spools simultaneously, the invention slashed the time it took to create cloth in half.
