Spinning Jenny

The Spinning Jenny is made up of several parts.

1. Hand Wheel.

2. Faller Wire & Control cord.

3. Tilted Spindles.

4. Sheaves.

5. Roller driving spindles.

6. Creel with rovings.

7. Cord Driving roller.

This manual explains several steps that will allow one to operate a Spinning Jenny. The Spinning Jenny was made in 1764 by James Hargreaves. It can be used by children, teenagers, and adults. The Spinning Jenny is the easiest way to spin cotton with little work.

Step 4: Hold onto the firmly clamped bar (7) with both hands

and move it towards oneself. The cotton will stretch. The fibers are now ready to be spun

Step 5: Hold onto the bar (8) with the left hand. Begin to spin

the wheel (1) with the right hand. Continue spinning until the cotton is fully spun.

Step 6: Once the cotton is spun into thread. Push the bars (7)

back with both hands. This action will wind the newly spun thread around the spindle (3).

Step 7: Repeat steps 2-6 until done. The finished cotton thread

should be coarse and thick.

Step 8: To stop the Spinning Jenny, adjust the brake on the

wheel (1) once it has fully stopped. Push back the bars (7) to their original resting place across the Jenny.

Step 1: Prepare the cotton.

Pull on the cotton fibers until they are almost completely apart. Begin twisting the fibers. Wrap the cotton around the roving. Attach the roving to the creel (6).

Step 2: Hold onto the ends of the cotton once it is fully twined

around the roving. Extend the cotton to the lower bar, (7) Make sure the cotton is lined up on the clamps.

Step 3: Close the top bar (7) on the cotton ends. The bars (8)

will clamp down on the fibers.
