A spinning-machine spindle rotatable about an axis has an upper cop-holding region and a lower nonsmooth reserve surface. The reserve surface is formed as a substantially uniform array of tiny pits separated by a raised continuous land extending as a continuous grid over the surface. Normally the pits are of pyramidal shape and the land lies substantially on a surface of revolution centered on the axis.

A yarn feeding funnel for a textile spinning machine having an upper shaft portion and a body portion. A yarn inlet opening in the upper shaft portion is radially offset from the axis of rotation of the yarn feeding funnel and facilitates the formation of a yarn balloon of controlled extent between the yarn inlet opening and a yarn guiding eye which is coaxial with the funnel rotation axis. A plurality of alternative yarn inlet openings, each at a predetermined, different radial spacing from the funnel rotation axis, may be provided to vary the characteristics, such as the diameter, of the yarn balloon formed between the yarn inlet opening and the yarn guiding eye.

A row of spindles carried on a common rail have whorls in tangential contact with a driving belt urged toward the spindle axes by pressure rollers offset therefrom, the whorls being of a diameter on the order of half the roller diameter. Each whorl is journaled on an upper end of an upright, stationary shaft supported by the rail through two vertically separated elastic retainers.
