A yarn carrier ( 30 ) for presenting a selected yarn ( 16 ) to a pair of gripper jaws ( 26,28 ). The yarn carrier ( 30 ) includes a yarn guide passageway ( 14 ) defining a path along which the selected yarn ( 16 ) is longitudinally guided. The passageway ( 14 ) has a yarn inlet end, a yarn outlet end and adjacent to the yarn outlet end yarn guides ( 32 ) to constrain the tail of the yarn (Y<SUB>T</SUB>) against lateral deflection in a longitudinal direction of the yarn carrier ( 30 ). The yarn guides ( 32 ) are depressible on contact with open gripper jaws ( 26,28 ) to enable the gripper jaws ( 26,28 ) to grip the yarn tail (Y<SUB>T</SUB>).
