ABSTRACT:
A creel for a twisting machine includes an arm which is pivotally mounted at its upper end to a point on a support over an aisle alongside of the machine and which secures at its lower end a peg supporting element which may be arc shaped. The creel normally is latched in a stowed position above the twisting machine not blocking the aisle, and in this position yarn from spools on the pegs of the creel is supplied to the twisting machines. When it is desired to remove the empty spools and replace them with full ones, the latch is released, whereby gravity causes the creel to swing to a second position, this one over the aisle adjacent to the machine and sufficiently lower than the stowed position that the spools easily are accessible to an operator.
