The development of the flying shuttle in the mid-18th century increased the speed of weaving, but it also created a bottleneck in yarn production as weavers could now produce cloth much faster than spinners could produce yarn. This led to a need for faster yarn production methods, which were eventually developed with the invention of the spinning jenny and other spinning machines.
