A method of loading a creel (7) with sliver reservoirs (9) and automatically linking one or more fibre processing machine comprising at least the steps of providing a reservoir loading station (10) remote from the creel (7), moving a loaded sliver reservoir (9) along a pathway (20, 21, 23, 24, 26, 31-40, 43, 44) towards and away from the creel (7) capturing the free end (61) of the sliver of the loaded reservoir (9), and feeling said free end (61) of the sliver to the creel required, and an apparatus suitable for use in said method including a loading station (10) in the nature of a fibre processing machine adapted to load a sliver reservoir (9) with a length of sliver, a pathway (20, 21, 23, 24, 26, 31-40, 43, 44) leading from said station (10) to a creel (7), means (22, 28, 30-41) for moving a loaded reservoir (9) to and from the loading station (10) to the creel (7) and means (62-63-90) for capturing the free end (61) of the sliver for the purpose of feeding it to the creel (7).
