Which invention was designed to spin multiple threads at the same time?

Explanation:
The Spinning Jenny was designed to spin several spindles of thread at once, dramatically increasing output for one worker. This device shifted the textile industry toward faster, more efficient production by turning multiple threads at the same time. The other inventions have different functions: the power loom weaves cloth from yarn; the cotton gin quickly separates seeds from cotton fibers; the Jacquard loom controls complex weaving patterns using punched cards.
