and the World.
Textile Industry: the First Example of Industrialization
 England had long been the center of ______________ _________________
 Traditionally, British textiles were produced through the ____________-_____ ____________.
 Craftspeople in rural areas spun flax (linen) into fiber (thread) at home.
 The fiber was then transported by merchants to other craftspeople who wove the fiber into fabric.
 Because the labor was spread out in _______ workers’ __________, the putting-out system did not produce textiles quickly enough to keep pace with rising demand.
Invention of New Machines
 The putting-out system came to an end with a number of inventions that changed the way textiles were manufactured.
 These ___________ led to the creation of the ________ _____________ factories.
 In the 18 th century, John Kay invented the flying shuttle, which improved a weaving looms.
 Traditionally, two people had been needed to work a loom, but the flying shuttle made it possible for one person to do the job.
 With the flying shuttle, weavers were able to weave faster than human spinners could spin thread.
 In about 1764, James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny, which allowed as many as 16 threads to be spun at once.
 With it, spinners were able to catch up with the weavers.
 These new machines were placed in special buildings, or _________________.
 Now spinners, weavers, and the machines were brought together in one place.
 In 1769, Sir Richard Arkwright, an English industrialist, invented the water frame, a large, waterpowered spinning frame that created a strong thread.
