<P> The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle spinning frame , and was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution . It was invented in 1764 by James Hargreaves in Stanhill , Oswaldtwistle , Lancashire in England . The device reduced the amount of work needed to produce cloth , with a worker able to work eight or more spools at once . This grew to 120 as technology advanced . The yarn produced by the jenny was not very strong until Richard Arkwright invented the water - powered ' Water Frame ' , which produced yarn harder and stronger than that of the initial spinning jenny . It started the factory system . </P>
