The yarn feeder device ( 1 ) of the invention has one or more yarn feeler levers ( 26 ), which are movably supported on the housing ( 2 ). The yarn feeler lever ( 26 ) is movable between an operating position I and a response position II. In the operating I, its crossbar ( 28 ) which forms the yarn feeler means is approximately in the same line as yarn guide elements, such as the struts ( 19, 23 ) of yarn guide bails ( 18, 22 ). Somewhat above its operating position I, the yarn feeler lever ( 26 ) meets a stop, past which it is not moved by the yarn ( 8 ). To improve the accessibility to the yarn guide elements ( 19, 23 ) particularly when yarn is being inserted and threaded in, the stop of the yarn feeler lever ( 26 ) is embodied as yielding. The yarn feeler lever ( 26 ) can therefore be moved upward manually past the stop on its lower end ( 28 ), in order to open up the space enclosed between the yarn guide elements ( 19, 23 ).
