The spinning frame is a machine used in the textile industry to spin fibers into yarn. It was invented in the late 18th century and significantly improved the efficiency of yarn production compared to earlier methods. The spinning frame uses a series of rollers to draw out and twist the fibers, creating a strong and uniform thread. This invention played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, as it allowed for mass production of textiles. The spinning frame is often associated with the work of Richard Arkwright, who patented the design and established factories that utilized this technology, transforming the textile manufacturing process.
