it's called the Spinning Jenny and no, the Cotton Gin just took the seeds out while the Spinning Jenny actually spun thread. The spinning Jenny spun 8 threads at a time which sped up cloth making a good bit, the technology before the spinning Jenny only did 1 thread at a time, but it still saved them time

Nylon is a man made fiber- it comes from a chemical factory, and the liquids are changed to solid threads. Cotton is a plant- it grows, you pick it, and spin the fibers into thread. Wool is the fur of a sheep or similar animal- you cut it off the animal, spin it into thread.


What is the spinning jenny in the industrial revolution?

It is called the 'Spinning Jenny' because in the 1700s James Hargreaves had a daughter called Jenny and she knocked over the family spinning wheel and it gave Hargreaves the idea to make his invention. And since Jenny had knocked over the family wheel and gave him this idea, he named it after her. Although the above is a lovely story, it is not true. Hargreaves never had a Daughter or Wife for that matter called Jenny. The name derives from the "Northern" word, or abbreviation meaning Engine. Much the same as "Gin" in "Cotton Gin" or cotton engine.
