A yarn carrier is provided in the form of a yarn winding tube having a yarn catch insert. The yarn winding tube includes a recess through its surface for receiving the insert. The insert includes a yarn catching slot having a major opening located at one end of the slot, a minor opening adjacent the major opening and positioned in a circumferential direction of the tube, and a first step extending substantially axially between the major opening and minor opening. A catching groove, having a portion with an axial width smaller than a diameter of the yarn, is also included. When the yarn carrier is rotated and the yarn is positioned along the yarn catching slot, the yarn drops into the major opening, slides along the first step and is directed into the catching groove for winding.
