A method and apparatus for winding yarn to produce a wound yarn package having a variable density profile. The variable density profile in the wound yarn is produced by variably tensioning the yarn during the winding process by an electrical apparatus which is responsive to a programmed control signal to provide variable tension on the yarn. The density profile thus produced is preferably a progessively variable density profile. In a preferred embodiment, the method is carried out with a precison winding machine with an electromagnetic tensioner. A controlled sequence of control signals is applied to the tensioner to provide a correspondingly varying tension on the yarn.
