    Abstract: An positive yarn feeding device including a support body mounted on a beam member, a multilayer yarn feeding wheel having frictional yarn feeding periphery, multiple drive pulleys, multiple tension controllers each having a movable yarn guiding arm, and a yarn braking assembly. The yarn feeding wheel and the drive pulleys are rotatably concentrically secured in a bearing of the support body and a clutch is disposed between the pulleys for optionally adjusting the operating speed of the roller. Each movable yarn guiding arm is disposed with a yarn guiding eyelet through which a yarn passes. The movable yarn guiding arm is pivotally supported between a first position where the yarn guiding eyelet is away from the frictional periphery of the yarn feeding wheel, and a second position where the yarn guiding eyelet is adjacent to the frictional periphery thereof.
