Abstract
A spinning apparatus for producing a spun yarn by using swirling air currents to twist a non-twisted short staple fiber bundle drafted by a drafting unit. A nozzle block having at least one nozzle provides a swirling air current that acts upon the fiber bundle. A fiber bundle passage is defined by the nozzle block and a needle holder having a substantially central, longitudinal axis and a guide surface that twists relative to the longitudinal axis. A guide member associated with the needle holder projects toward the inlet of a hollow spindle.
