Abstract
This invention is directed to a yarn carrier with means for visually indicating the type of yarn wound onto the carrier. In particular the indicator is a color coded ring which is received in a channel at the end of the yarn carrier. This arrangement provides a clear visible indication of the type of yarn on the carrier while not adding to the length or diameter of the carrier. As such the critical dimensions of the carrier are assured while providing a simple convenient indication of the type of yarn.
