Abstract
A yarn feeder having a stationary storage drum defining at least one cylindrical and circumferentially closed circumferential section, and a stationarily held ring-shaped yarn control element surrounding the circumferential section. The yarn control element is a finite band having a generally planar cross-section and is positioned on the circumferential section with mutually aligned, neighboring ends. The band is resistant against extension in the circumferential direction and is yieldable in the radial direction of the storage drum. Further, the band is preloaded against the circumferential section by means of an elastic tensioning device.
