Apparatus and method for doffing wound packages of strand materials and for donning empty cores for resumption of winding, while avoiding interruption of the movement of strand material to be wound, if desired. As applied to a textile yarn texturing machine, a core supporting arm is displaced from a winding position to a doffing position and a wound package is doffed from the arm. Yarn being textured is severed, to separate a doffed package therefrom, and an empty core is donned on the arm as the same returns to a winding position. During doffing and donning, a running end of the yarn being textured is taken up and is subsequently severed to form a free end to be wound about the donned empty core.
