There is provided a lapping arrangement with circulating thread guides for a warp knitting machine. The arrangement has carriers for the thread guides. A transport arrangement moves the carriers in a guide means comprising two parallel segments connected by two turning segments. In the location of the parallel segments the transport arrangement comprises two forwarding helices in whose helical thread ride rollers which are attached to the carriers. In this way, a precise positioning of the thread guides is possible.
