Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The textile industry was the first industry in England that implemented machinery in the Industrial Revolution.
Key Takeaway: In the 1700s, the first factories were created in Britain in order to spin yarn and thread and then later, weave textiles. This key British industry used wool from many of the low-lying British sheep-farming areas. Until roughly the 1730s, this process was done by hand. In 1733, the flying shuttle was invented, greatly speeding up yarn production. The first sewing machine was then invented in 1738.
