A multi-feed circular knitting machine having a yarn changing mechanism at each feed. A guide at one of the feeds is threaded up with an elastomeric thread. Knife elements and a suction tube respectively cut and normally hold any yarn withdrawn from knitting. Adjacent the suction tube, between the latter and the cutting point, is a holder device and a trapper component co-operable to hold the elastomeric thread after it is withdrawn but prior to it being cut. In one form, the holder device consists of a spring-biassed stem slidable up and down a tubular support and having a thread-engaging foot for co-operation with the trapper component.
