A spool is disclosed for winding an optical waveguide filament during the drawing thereof. Each end of the spool is provided with an annular resilient member which forms a part of a channel for receiving the filament. The resilient member must be displaced while the filament is in contact therewith to provide a gap through which the filament can pass. After the gap closes, the filament is gripped by the resilient member. In this manner both ends of a wound filament can be secured to the ends of a spool.
