In a procedure for the provision of pattern warps, different threads 12 are pulled off by a rotating thread guide from a circulating thread creel 27 circulating synchronously therewith. The threads are laid off on parallel transport bands oriented axially around the circumference of a non-rotating drum. At predetermined times unneeded threads 12 are connected to the thread guide 11 via a clamp and cut between the clamping point 19 and the drum. Upon renewed demand, the free thread ends 22 are held stationary and the clamp is opened. In a warp knitting machine in which this procedure can be carried out, every thread guide 11 is provided with an orbiting clamping point 19. A cutting arrangement 20 serves for cutting the threads 12 between the clamping point 19 and the drum 1. On the machine frame there is provided a stationary holding arrangement for the free threads ends. In this manner it is possible to create a plurality of different patterns in a relatively short time.
