There has been many different machines invented over the years by farmers to help improve the cotton industry. In 1765, James Hargreaves fully developed the Spinning Jenny. Within twenty years, the number of threads one machine could spin rose from six, to eighty. In 1769, Richard Arkwright invented the “Water Frame.” This, as its title, would suggest that the water you use is a source of power. It also produced a better thread than the spinning Jenny. In 1773, John Kay invented the “Flying Shuttle.” This invention allowed wider cloth to enter in at a faster speed than before Kay decided to use his knowledge as a weaver to develop this machine. In 1779, Samuel Crompton’s “Mule” was invented. It combined the points of the water frame and the Spinning Jenny, which resulted in a machine that could spin a cotton thread faster than any other machine. In 1781, Matthew Boulton and James Watt invented a steam engine that was usable inside a cotton factory, as a result, by the 1790s, the steam engine helped the numbers in cotton factories, therefore there was less reliance on water and the availability of water. Factories tended to be built near coal mines as a result. In the 1800’s, the industry witnessed a spread in the use of chemical bleaches and dyes, which meant that bleaching, dyeing, and printing could all take place in the same
