The ability to make yarn at a much faster pace

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of the flying shuttle in 1733, an innovation in weaving technology, allowed for much faster weaving of cloth, which in turn increased the demand for yarn at a faster pace. This led to the development of other technologies such as the spinning jenny, water frame, and spinning mule, which all contributed to a significant increase in the speed and efficiency of yarn production during the Industrial Revolution. George Stephenson's Rocket was a steam locomotive and had no direct relation to yarn production. The Lysenko Doctrine was a discredited theory in biology and agriculture, and Charles Seurat was a painter who had no inventions related to yarn production. While new resources of cotton from South America may have contributed to an increase in the supply of raw materials for yarn production, it was the technological innovations that allowed for faster spinning of yarn.
