The flying shuttle was one of the most important inventions of the early Industrial Revolution. Before its invention, weaving had mostly been a cottage industry done in small home workshops. After its invention, large factory looms began putting small-scale hand weavers out of business. The speed of the flying shuttle factory loom drove the invention of machine spinning, which in turn created a huge demand for cotton. Cotton cloth was really the first true industrial product, mass-produced cheaply in factories by machines rather than human craftsmen.
