ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a textile machine arrangement comprising a multiplicity of yarn sources adapted to supply yarn for each feed station on said machine, said yarn sources being located adjacent to the machine, and a yarn feed mechanism adapted to draw the yarns from the sources and feed them at a desired rate and tension along a path towards the appropriate feed stations, characterized in that said yarn sources (2) are located in at least one group arranged to one side of the machine (4), and that the yarn feed mechanism includes a rotatable elongate roller device (8) provided with a plurality of cylindrical path-defining surface portions (21) each rotatable simultaneously and co-axially with its neighboring surface portion (21), so that each yarn is fed to one only of the portions (21) and the yarn path of each yarn (Y) includes a region in which the yarn partakes of travel in a helical manner about a portion (21) of the cylindrical surface of the roller device (8).
