Abstract: A yarn cone holder whereby the yarn cone is mounted on an angled wire section of the holder with a yarn retention arm disposed substantially below the yarn cone and extending outwardly therefrom and including a resilient pad with the lower edge of the yarn cone deforming the resilient pad.

Abstract: A yarn package holder including a support post, a latch block coaxially disposed on the support post and selectively rotatable thereon, a rotatable support block coaxially disposed on the support post above the latch block, a cone holder extending laterally from the support block, a collar coaxially disposed on the support post above the support block and selectively rotatable thereon and stop means extending upwardly from the support block and cooperating with a stop extension extending from the collar to stop rotation of the support block.

Abstract: A pivotal yarn package holder allows convenience in replacing a yarn package on a creel or the like, and locks into place for use. The support can be adjusted so that the strand of yarn is precisely aimed at the eyelet, and the yarn package will always return to the preset position. A post is mounted from the creel frame, and a latch block is fixed to the post by a set screw. A support block carrying the yarn package is juxtaposed on the latch block, and a latch is easily operable to latch the support block to the latch block. A cone holder has the spring wires below the rigid stud so the stud carries the weight of the yarn to prevent sagging of the yarn package.
