Abstract:
A method of winding a yarn traveling at a work station of a yarn winding machine from a yarn source to a take-up bobbin onto which the yarn is wound, comprising the steps of:a minimum criterion is predetermined for an amount of yarn to be wound onto the take-up bobbin between successive yarn joinders, after a yarn interruption, an amount is determined for the yarn wound onto the take-up bobbin since a preceding yarn joinder, after the yarn interruption, a yarn end from the take-up bobbin is unwound therefrom, if the amount determined for the yarn wound onto the take-up bobbin since the preceding yarn joinder is less than the amount of the predetermined criterion, the length of yarn unwound from the take-up bobbin is sufficient to include the preceding yarn joinder and the unwound length of yarn is separated and removed, a yarn joinder is formed between a yarn end from the yarn source and the yarn end from the take-up bobbin, and winding of the yarn from the yarn source onto the take-up bobbin is then continued.
