A multi-spindle double twist twisting machine having a spindle frame in the form of a support plate that serves as a self-supporting sub-frame mountable alternatively in either a vertical or horizontal spindle machine and on which a plurality of spindle assembly mounting means are supported in two staggered rows. The support plate has side flanges to facilitate forming an enclosure around spindle assembly whorls and a belt drive assembly. A separator wall is mounted on the support plate between the rows of spindle assemblies and has ballooning yarn guides mounted thereon and extending over the spindle assemblies. The wall is extendable to adjust for yarn package sizes and operating conditions. The support plate may be formed in two portions with adjacent flanges for attaching the portions together and the wall may have an attaching flange for positioning between the adjacent flanges of the support plate portions to form an integral independent sub-frame. The spindle assembly mounting means is disposed on the support plate to provide a space at the end of each row, preferably at one end of the support plate beyond one row and at the opposite end of the support plate beyond the other row. Receivers for storage of spindle assembly heads are mounted in these spaces. The spindle assemblies are formed with discs having segments provided thereon for mounting of magnet means or weights to resist rotation of the yarn package from which yarn is withdrawn into the twisting operation.
