A method and means for simultaneously inserting weft/binding yarns (45) and their beating-up, in textile manufac-turing processes like 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing, is disclosed. A yarn carrier (90, 39, 22) is equipped with a beating-up reed dent (27; 28). In carrier (90), which comprises a cartridge-like yarn supplying means (lx), the yarn (45) is arranged around two axes of rotation (X1 and X2) and it is enclosed in a case. It is particularly suitable for 3D textile-forming processes like 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing because of its relatively low-height but high-width and hen ce the possibility of carrying relatively large amount of yarn. The yarn (45) is contained on a flanged belt (15) that can be driven either from within or from outside of the means (1x). Such a cartridge-like yarn supplying means (1x) is equipped with tips (18a, 18b) that are offset or displaced oppositely about the central axis. Such a displaced arrangement of the tips directs the carriers (90; 22) to lay yarn (45) in two different paths, relative to a layer of warp/axial yarns, while traversing back and forth in the same linear path . Through such a method the 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing processes can be made efficient. The yarn supplying means (lx) could also be useful in other textile processes.
