PCT No. PCT/GB94/00017 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 26, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 26, 1995 PCT Filed Jan. 5, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/16130 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 21, 1994A yarn creel 20 includes vertical ducts 27 having openings 28 therein through which air is directed towards the upper surfaces of yarn cones 22 mounted on pins 21. Yarn drawn off from the cones 22 exits the creel 20 via tubes 23 whose entrance ends 24 are contained within a further duct 25, the duct 25 having slots 26 through which air is drawn from the interior of the creel 20. A fan 30 circulates this air so that it is re-emitted from the openings 28 in the duct 27. A continuous air stream is thus created over those points which are most susceptible to accumulation of lint. In an alternative embodiment, the yarn tubes extend with clearance through openings in the duct so that their entrance ends are disposed externally of the duct but close to those openings.
