Textile machines twist many animal and plant fibers together into threads or yarns that can be used to weave cloth. The earliest spinning machines have a very simple structure and were used since the 14th century. The following is the origin of the spinning machine arranged for everyone, for reference only, welcome to read.


In the early 1760s, there was a Hargreworth couple in Lakeburn, North Lancashire, England, one weaving and the other spinning. Spinning, spinning, the spinning wheel suddenly overturned, and the spindle (spindle) changed from a horizontal state to an upright state, but still kept turning. This interesting phenomenon caused Hargreworth to think. He thought, how slow a man can only spin one yarn with this spinning wheel! In any case, he can't keep up with my needs for weaving. How nice to have a spinning machine with many spindles side by side!

From then on, this little literate textile handicraft worker, after repeated pondering and experimentation, finally succeeded in manufacturing a textile machine in 1764 that can drive 16 to 18 spindles at the same time with only one person operating. machine, and named it "Jenny Textile Machine" after his beloved daughter. Not long after, Richard Ackley, a barber in the Preston area of North Lancashire, England, invented the hydro-spinning machine. In 1776, Samil Crompton in Fairwood, Lancashire combined the characteristics of the Jenny spinning machine and the hydro spinning machine to invent the camel machine. The yarn is spun is fine and strong, and it can turn three or four hundred or more yarns at a time.
