Abstract

A method of building a yarn reserve at a balloon limiter for a yarn guided after emerging from a spindle rotor into a yarn guide channel includes the step of connecting a yarn guide eyelet to an upper end of a balloon limiter so as to be positioned at an angular distance relative to an exit location of the yarn at the spindle rotor. The angular distance is adjusted between 20.degree. and 120.degree. as a function of operating conditions. The yarn is guided for building a yarn reserve through the yarn guide eyelet. The multiple twisting spindle for performing the inventive method has a spindle rotor having an exit location for a yarn and a rotating balloon limiter surrounding the spindle rotor and having at an upper end thereof at least one yarn guide eyelet. The yarn guide eyelet is spaced at an angular distance relative to the exit location of the yarn at the spindle rotor.
