1. The flying shuttle

This was an invention by John Kay in 1733 that used cords that were attached to a picking peg. Using only one hand, a weaver could operate the loom. With the use of the flying shuttle, production of cloth doubled.

2. The spinning jenny

This was an invention created in 1764 by James Hargreaves that focused on being able to spin multiple threads. A device was created that, by turning one wheel, one person could spin eight threads at one time. In 1770 the spinning jenny was patented.

3. The water frame

This was an invention from Richard Arkwright that used a water wheel, after which rollers produced yarn while spindles twisted the fibers. The water frame made it easier to produce yarn faster and was the strongest available. In 1768, Mr. Arkwright was able to patent his invention and would go on to build one of the first steam-powered textile factories in England.

4. The spinning mule

This was an invention by Samuel Crompton in 1779 and was a combination of the spinning jenny and the water frame. This combination allowed large amounts of yarn to be created with better control over the weaving process.

5. The power loom

This was patented by Edmund Cartwright in 1785 and was powered by steam and was mechanically operated, combining threads so that they could eventually make fabric. In 1813, William Horrocks helped improve the power loom.

6. The cotton gin

This was an invention from 1793 by Eli Whitney that mechanically separated cotton seeds from cotton fibers. Before the cotton gin, people had to manually separate the seed from the fibers, which was incredibly time consuming and tedious. The cotton gin helped raise efficiency and, thus, profits many times over.
