A method for monitoring a traveling yarn at a winding station of an automatic winding machine having an electronic slub catcher which produces an AC voltage signal proportional to a dynamic yarn signal responsive to yarn movement and a yarn cutting signal responsive to a fluctuation in yarn dimension outside a predetermined tolerance range includes the steps of producing a static yarn signal responsive to the presence of yarn in the electronic slub catcher, monitoring and evaluating the static yarn signal, producing a separating signal responsive to the absence of static yarn signal due to the absence of yarn from the slub catcher and monitoring and evaluating the separating signal.
