Method and apparatus for false twisting one or more strands is disclosed. The apparatus includes an improved false twisting unit operable to impart false twist into one or more strands as the strand or strands are advanced and engaged by the friction twister. Guide means are provided for directing each strand in an inactive path remote from the twister while the twister is being threaded up, during the interval when the twister is being brought up to speed, and while advance of the strand from its supply to its take-up is commenced. Subsequent to these steps each strand is shifted into an active position where it engages with the friction twister to be twisted thereby.
