Richard Arkwright & The Water Frame

Richard Arkwright created a machine called the Water Frame. This machine made it possible to spin cotton faster than ever before. Arkwright had opened factories that produced cotton which was a new thing for the people of the Industrial Revolution. Usually cotton spinning was done in small groups in their homes, now with the invention of the Water Frame spinning could be done much more efficiently. This being said, women of the time period did not like this and feared that their good cotton spinning talent would no longer be appreciated. Although not everyone liked the idea of the Water Frame, it did make cotton production much faster.
