then we can use cotton without a whole bunch of work

The cotton gin- a machine for removing seeds from raw cotton quickly and cheaply- and the spinning jenny- a machine that would spin cotton fiber into thread. Together with the power loom (used to weave cloth from thread) it greatly increased cheap production of cotton cloth- and increased the demand for cotton.

The cotton mill used water power in order to spin cotton into useful thread. This allowed for greater thread production, which led to more and cheaper clothes for all.
The process of creating a thread is called "thread spinning." This involves passing fibers through a spinning machine to twist and bind them together to form a continuous strand of thread.
Oliver Chace's Thread Mill was created in 1840.
Samuel Slater was a British mechanic. He developed the British style spinning mill. The mill was a great financial success in 1790.

A positive impact is that the spinning jenny could make clothes faster and easier, by making multiple spools of yarn at a time. A negative impact is that spinning wheel makers were angry at the inventor, James Hargreaves, because they could go out of business if the spinning jenny became a common item. It is said that some of the makers of the spinning wheel sabotaged Hargreaves machines, and Hargreaves fled.
