A re-usable yarn carrier includes a tube having an annular recess formed in an outer peripheral surface adjacent one end of the tube. The annular recess defines a marking surface located radially inward from the outer peripheral surface. The marking surface includes markings, for example, colored bands, bar code or the like, for identifying at least one characteristic of the yarn wound onto the carrier. The marking surface may further include a knurled surface, slip-resistant coating, hooks or the like, for catching the yam at the start of the winding operation.
