A thread delivery device for a textile machine, which device includes a drum upon which a thread can be tangentially wound to form an intermediate thread storage and from which the thread can be unwound axially over an end of the drum. A thread control member is positioned adjacent the withdrawal end of the drum for engaging the withdrawn thread to limit the withdrawal rate of thread from the drum substantially to the rate at which the thread is wound onto the drum to thereby provide a positive thread supply. A thread guide element is disposed adjacent but radially spaced from the drum, and the last thread winding on the drum (that is, the winding which is about to be withdrawn from the drum) is guided around the thread guide element and then back to the drum so that the last winding thus forms a partial winding on the drum. This thread control element thus ensures that two or more windings are not wound off the drum simultaneously.
