Abstract
A yarn carrier () for presenting a selected yarn () to a pair of gripper jaws (). The yarn carrier () includes a yarn guide passageway () defining a path along which the selected yarn () is longitudinally guided. The passageway () has a yarn inlet end, a yarn outlet end and adjacent to the yarn outlet end yarn guides () to constrain the tail of the yarn (Y) against lateral deflection in a longitudinal direction of the yarn carrier (). The yarn guides () are depressible on contact with open gripper jaws () to enable the gripper jaws () to grip the yarn tail (Y).
