An improved twister device for imparting a twist to sliver as it is fed to a balling mechanism includes a pair of resilient fingers which are mounted on a rotatable body and define a nip through which the sliver passes. Rotation of the body and fingers twists the sliver. The spacing at the nip between end portions of the fingers is adjustable to enable sliver of different thicknesses to be frictionally engaged with a force such that the sliver will be twisted when the body is rotated and yet enable the sliver to readily pass through the nip. If the nip becomes obstructed, the spacing between the end portions of the fingers can be increased to enable the obstruction to pass through the nip.
