Spinning mills were introduced to the United States in 1790 by English-born mechinist and businessman Samuel Slater (1768â1835). The twenty-one year old had worked as a textile laborer for more than six years in an English mill, where he learned about the workings of a cotton-spinning machine invented (1783) by Richard Arkwright (1732â92).
This decreased the amount of manual labor needed. In 1764, a British carpenter and weaver named James Hargreaves invented an improved Spinning Jenny, a hand-powered multiple spinning machine that was the first machine to improve upon the spinning wheel.ames Hargreaves' version of the Spinning Jenny had a single wheel that controlled eight spindles which created a weave that used eight threads.This enhancement of the spinning wheel required less time needed to create textiles.
