Why did handloom cloth production increase in the 20th century? |
| Answer» Hand loom cloth production expanded rapidly and tripled between 1900 and 1940. This was due to the technological changes that led to the adoption of looms with fly shuttle by weavers. It increased productivity per worker, speeded up production and increased labour demand. Other innovations also helped the weavers to improve their productivity and compete with mills. | |
