running water
For hundreds of years, villager in Britain had farmed the land with sickle and other simple tools. As well as growing food for themseves they made their own cloth by spinning and weaving the wool from their sheep or the fibres from the plants. Some earned money by spinning and weaving in their homes. They did this using simple looks which they work by hand. The power of Steam was not discovered until the end of 17th century. The first steam engines was used to pump water out of flooded mines. Then, in the 18th century, they were some times used in factories to work machines. Steam-powered machines could do spinning weaving
John Kay invents the flying shuttle loom. James Hargreaves introduces the spinning jenny, which is patented in 1770. Richard Arkwright patents the water frame for making thread. Unlike the spinning jenny, this machine uses waterpower. Samuel Crompton invents the water-powered machine known as the mule. Edmund Cartwright creates the power loom.
The first weaving machine, or power loom, was created by a British man named Edmund Cartwright in the 18th century. He patented it in 1785.

Inventions of power looms and programmed pattern weaving made it easier and quicker to make fancy, expensive fabrics, making Britain the center of the fabric industry for decades. ChaCha on!
The spinning jenny and the power loom allowed workers to produce fabrics and textiles more efficiently and at a faster pace. They mechanized the spinning and weaving processes, reducing the need for manual labor and increasing the output of textile production. This ultimately contributed to the growth of the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution.
The power loom led to other inventions such as the spinning jenny and the spinning mule.
