Articles ( 12 ) made by winding of filamentary material ( 11 ), such as yarn and thread, are especially suitable for providing brushes and pile weatherstripping. In order to enable the yarn ( 11 ) to be unwound and payed out of spools ( 24 ) disposed in a stationary or static array, the yarn is fed from the spools ( 24 ) through a rotating spindle ( 30 ). A frame ( 14 ) located at the beginning of the path and may be provided by laterally spaced pairs of wire ( 52 ) which travel around posts ( 36 ) provided by rollers on a stationary bracket ( 38 ). In order to support the bracket ( 38 ) and the frame ( 14 ), a shaft ( 28 ) reciprocates a pair of support rods ( 100, 102 ) in synchronism with the rotation of the spindle ( 30 ). Bindings ( 60, 62 ) are applied to the ends of the loops ( 54 ) as they leave the winding station ( 14 ). Slitters ( 20 ) divide the loops ( 54 ).
