Early Inventions in the British Textile Industry
A traditional spinning wheel
• The “putting-out” system- early capitalism
The Gallant Weaver, by Robert Burns Where Cart rins flow in tae the sea,
By many a flow'r and shading tree, There lives a lad, the lad for me, He is a gallant weaver. Oh I had wooers ought of nine, That gied me rings and ribbons fine, But I was fear'd my heart wad tine, And I gie'd it tae the weaver.
My daddie sign'd my tocher band, To gi'e the lad that has the land, But tae my heart I'll add my hand, And gie'd it to the weaver. While birds rejoice in leafy bow'rs, While bees delight in opening flow'rs, While corn grows green in summer show'rs, I'll love my gallant weaver.
