Abstract

A method of operating a textile machine for producing cheeses, at whose workstations (1) yarn (2) is unwound from supply bobbins (3), checked, cleaned of yarn defects and wound onto larger-volume cheeses (4) during which the yarn defects occurring the winding process in a given yarn length are registered. When a predetermined number of yarn joinders is exceeded within a predetermined reference yarn length, the winding process is stopped and the yarn length with the excessive number of joinders, already wound onto the cheese, is removed from the cheese (4).
