Abstract

A method and apparatus for winding a yarn wherein at the end of the winding cycle the yarn end is secured to the package surface, so as to prevent yarn layers from automatically sliding down in subsequent handling and transportation of the packages. In accordance with the invention, the advancing yarn (1) is lifted out of the yarn traversing mechanism (2) at the end of the winding cycle, and guided and wound in a narrow axial range of the package (8). In the slowdown phase of the package (8), a pressing device (12-14) is pivoted against the package surface, which presses the yarn end by an adjustable force into the formed yarn bead.
