spinning mills
Fiber-to-yarn facilities
Spinning mills are factories where fiber—cotton, wool, or synthetic material—is spun into thread or yarn.
The term dates to the Industrial Revolution, when water- and steam-powered mills transformed textile production from cottage industry to mass manufacture.
The old spinning mills along the river have been converted to apartments.
