A thread separating apparatus separates an outermost thread from a large number of threads arranged substantially parallel and in close proximity to each other within one plane. The apparatus has a movable table that is movable in a direction which is parallel to the plane in which the threads are arranged and which is substantially perpendicular to the threads. A thread guide member and a thread separating device project from the movable table in the direction of movement of the movable table. The guide member has a slit in which threads are to be aligned. The thread separating device has a pair of separating members which can be opened and closed as desired to separate the outermost thread from the other threads. The movable table is further provided with a detector for detecting in a non-contact manner a diameter of thread which is to be separated, and a switch that is activated by the separated thread.
