A yarn lap preventor for deflecting a parted yarn end away from an enlarged diameter area of a rotating take-up shaft of the open end spinning machine, particularly of the type for forming cylindrical yarn packages. The yarn lap preventor is preferably integrally molded plastic including a body portion and a mounting arm portion extending radially outwardly from the body portion. The body portion of the yarn lap preventor includes a tapered edge which is positioned adjacent the enlarged diameter area of the take-up shaft and preferably in closely spaced apart relation from where the advancing yarn leaves the enlarged diameter area. The body portion of the yarn lap preventor also preferably includes a shield portion which extends along a circumferential portion of the enlarged diameter area.
