|
| Spinning jenny, Early multiple-spindle machine for spinning wool or cotton. |
|
| The spinning jenny allowed a group of eight spindles to be operated together. |
|
| The spinning jenny was effective and could be operated by hand, but it produced weaker thread that could only be used for the weft part of cloth. |
|
| The spinning jenny was confined to producing cotton weft, it was unable to produce yarn of sufficient quality for the warp. |
|
| The jenny was initially welcomed by the hand spinners, but when the price of yarn fell the mood changed. |
|
|
|
| Thomas Highs of Leigh had claimed that he was the true inventor of both these devices and the spinning jenny as well. |
|
| The spinning jenny succeeded because it held more than one ball of yarn, making more yarn in a shorter time and reducing the overall cost. |
|
| The jenny was adapted for the process of slubbing, being the basis of the Slubbing Billy. |
|
| The spinning jenny would not have been such a success if the flying shuttle had not been invented and installed in textile factories. |
|
| The jenny worked in a similar manner to the spinning wheel, by first clamping down on the fibres, then by drawing them out, followed by twisting. |

|
| Textiles were a prime mover of the Industrial Revolution. Inventions such as the spinning jenny transformed the way cloth was produced, shifting it from a family-based occupation into factory mass production. |
|
| Since the threads produced by the spinning jenny lacked strength they were an ideal complement to those produced on the water frame, and the machine was used for decades by homeworkers. |

|
| Spinning machinery, such as the spinning jenny and spinning frame, displaced the spinning wheel during the Industrial Revolution. |
|
| The deficiencies of the jenny imbued him with the idea of devising something better, which he worked on in secret for five or six years. |
|
| While Hargreaves worked on the spinning jenny, Highs, it is alleged, constructed a machine using rollers, similar to a machine later called the water frame. |
|
|
|
| The spinning wheel was superseded by the spinning jenny and the spinning frame at the beginning of the industrial revolution in the mid 18th century. |
|
| No mention was made by him of the spinning jenny, but it was mentioned as a statement of fact in Arkwrights submission, that Hargreaves had invented it. |

|
| While he was a boy he lost his father and had to contribute to the family resources by spinning yarn, learning to spin on James Hargreaves's spinning jenny. |
|
