“Spinning Jenny” by James Hargreaves, 1764
The Flying shuttle was invented by John Kay, who was a British engineer and inventor. He made many improvements in dressing, and carding machinery. He received a patent for a 'new engine of machine for opening and dressing wool', that incorporated his flying shuttle. This invention was a very important development during the industrial revolution. It allowed a single weaver to weave much wider fabrics, and that means that it was needed less people for weaving.
