ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A filamentary yarn handling apparatus is arranged for use with a filamentary yarn winder of the type comprising a package support on which the packages are rotated. The yarn handling apparatus comprises a gathering head mounted above the package rotary axis for displacement toward the paths of travel of the yarns. The gathering head includes a cutter for severing each yarn and a suction tube whose inlet is disposed above the cutter for continuously drawing-in each yarn after severing has occurred. A yarn transfer mechanism includes two guides mounted for movement relative to the gathering head between upper and lower positions along one side of the package axis. With the transfer mechanism being in its upper position, the guides are respectively located between the rest position of said gathering head and the paths of yarn travel, respectively, such that when the cutter means severs the yarns and the gathering head returns to its rest position the yarns engage respective ones of the guides. The guides are moved from the upper position to the lower position relative to the gathering head and with the yarns remaining engaged with the guides, so that the yarns can be threaded onto empty packages. The gathering head is also usable on a hand-manipulable aspirator.
