The apparatus includes an assembly (5) comprising rollers (15) for the advancing of thread (1), a rotary conduit (2), a knife (3) for cutting the thread and freeing a length (10) upon each turn of said rotary conduit (2), and a thread guide (4) to receive the cut lengths of thread. The thread guide comprises deflectors (43) exerting a pressure on the thread. The pressure of the deflectors can be adjusted by screws (7).
