A yarn breakage position detecting device and method of detecting a yarn breakage position involves a running yarn tension detector arranged at a reference position and that outputs a tension signal by which occurrence of yarn breakage is detected, and passage of the end of a broken yarn through the reference position is then calculated based on the time period from occurrence of yarn breakage to passage of the broken yarn end through the reference position. The yarn breakage time is stored as a time at which the tension signal becomes a peak value and/or a time at which the tension signal begins to decrease below a steady state tension value. The time when the yarn passes through the reference position is stored as a time at which the tension signal becomes lower than a lower limit value and/or a time at which natural oscillation begins.
