A thread reel, with a thread wound thereon, has a holding pin at its periphery upon which the end of the thread is secured such that a plurality of loops are laid around the holding pin in such a way that in each case the end of each loop, respectively, facing the thread reel simultaneously forms the start of the next loop which is further spaced from the thread reel, with the end of the next loop remote from the preceding loop lying closer to the thread reel than the end to which it is connected.
