Answer:

He became interested in spinning machinery at least by 1764, when he began construction of his first machine (patented in 1769). Arkwright's water frame (so-called because it operated by waterpower) produced a cotton yarn suitable for warp. ... With several partners, Arkwright opened factories at Nottingham and Cromford.
