Abstract: A stack creeling system for the continuous creeling of yarn from a supply of yarn includes at least two rows of creeling units wherein each creeling unit includes at least two discrete creel frames, the creel frames support the yarn supply for rotatably unwinding the yarn therefrom. The method of continuously creeling yarn from the yarn supplies includes creeling yarn from one row, securing the free end of the yarns from the other row to the captured ends of the yarn supplies in the one row and permitting the yarn supplies for the one row to be expended, wherein thereafter the yarn supplies are replenished and the method repeated to alternately creel yarn from the one and other rows to effect a continuous creeling operation.
