An improvement in a yarn-holding apparatus for a circular knitting machine which functions to hold a plurality of yarn ends in the ready position at the air shoe near the machine yarn feeds so that the held yarn ends can be selectively engaged by the yarn feeds and thereafter introduced to the needles of the machine for knitting. An air input station receives air from an airflow source and has a manifold into which the introduced air is directed. A number of air ports are connected with and extend from the manifold thus sending a number of airflow streams into the airflow passage where the yarns are introduced. The directed airflow streams converge to maintain the held yarns in a stationary and tangle-free condition and enable the positive engagement of the yarns by the yarn feeds.
