A dye tube assembly is disclosed comprising two tubular members, one of which telescopes a limited distance into the other. Stop means are provided on one of the members to initially limit the degree of telescoping therebetween. Both of the tubular members have a plurality of openings or perforations around the side walls thereof so as to permit dye liquor to pass therethrough. The tubes when assembled, such that one telescopes a small amount into the other, comprise a yarn dye tube around which a package of yarn may be produced. Once the package is produced on a texturing machine or the like, the tube may be placed on a spindle in a dye kettle where the yarn is to be dyed. A tapered spacer is provided between each yarn package on the dye spindle such that upon receiving a force thereon, each dye tube will experience further telescoping to a collapsed condition within the yarn package so as to permit a larger number of packages to be dyed in a single dye kettle.
