Lancashire entrepreneur Richard Arkwright is credited with inventing the first spinning frame in 1767, contributing to the Industrial Revolution-era transition to factory-based textile manufacturing. Historically leveraging water power, these machines made it possible to mass produce strong yarn and reduced the need to spin cotton by hand.</skos:scopeNote><skos:inScheme rdf:resource="http://AATesaurus.cultura.gencat.cat/aat/getty_en"/><skos:broader rdf:resource="http://AATesaurus.cultura.gencat.cat/aat/getty_en?tema=31419461"/><skos:broader rdf:resource="http://AATesaurus.cultura.gencat.cat/aat/getty_en?tema=31353962"/><skos:narrower rdf:resource="http://AATesaurus.cultura.gencat.cat/aat/getty_en?tema=31422106"/><skos:exactMatch> <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://AATesaurus.cultura.gencat.cat/aat/getty_ca/index.php?tema=9862980"> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="ca">spinning frame (traducció pendent)</skos:prefLabel> </skos:Concept></skos:exactMatch><skos:exactMatch> <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://AATesaurus.cultura.gencat.cat/aat/getty_es/index.php?tema=14107083"> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="es">spinning frames (traducció pendent)</skos:prefLabel> </skos:Concept></skos:exactMatch>  <dct:created>2026-03-30 20:45:00</dct:created>  </skos:Concept></rdf:RDF>
