Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1764 AD

Spinning Jenny was a spinning machine which was introduced in the woolen industry.

  • Spinning Jenny was designed by James Hargreaves in 1764.
  • Through this machine, a worker could turn a number of spindles and spin multiple threads at a time.
  • This machine speeded up the spinning process along with reducing the number of labor.
  • The women who were engaged in hand spinning opposed the Spinning Jenny because it was a threat to their employment.

Thus, we can conclude that spinning jenny was introduced in 1764 AD.
