PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically align the knots of a plurality of connecting threads when drawing out the plurality of connecting threads from a plurality of packages around which each of the connecting threads which has turned into a single thread by tieing a plurality of kinds of threads is wound and winding them around a beam. SOLUTION: The plurality of connecting threads drawn out of the plurality of packages are inserted through the slit 26 formed between a fixed roller 22 and an ascent/descent roller 23. When elastic rollers 16a, 16b are rotated in a state where the plurality of connecting threads are sandwitched between the elastic rollers 16a, 16b, each of the connecting threads is transported to the downstream side until the knot between the thread Y21 and the thread Y22 reaches the slit 26. After the knot is caught in the slit 26, the thread Y21 slides on the surfaces of the elastic rollers 16a, 16b, and is not transported beyond that. Then the knots of the plurality of the connecting threads are aligned automatically by rotating the elastic rollers 16a, 16b until the knots of all of the connecting threads are caught in the slit 26.
