In a yarn winding apparatus, yarn is fed from a spinning frame or the like at high speed, and is wound on bobbins. Shifting of yarn from a full to an empty bobbin is carried out smoothly. A plurality of bobbins is fitted on a revolving arm, and each individual bobbin is positively driven from an independent power source. A plurality of independent drives are installed on the back of the revolving mechanism and bobbins are fitted on its front. Intermediate shafts are installed concentrically with a rotatory shaft which is a part of the revolving mechanism, and pass through the revolving mechanism. Rotary power is transmitted from each independent drive to each individual bobbin by these intermediate shafts.
