Abstract

An objective of the present invention is to provide a yarn piecing method and device useful when used for sequentially selectinganyof plural types of yarns different in color or suchlike, and supplying them to a yarn feeding device in a knitting machine. In the present invention, two yarns Y1 and Y4 to be pieced are accommodated and clamped in a piecing nozzle 21 with their ends arranged to point in the same direction, a jet stream of air is generated in the piecing nozzle and applied to the two yarns to be pieced in the piecing nozzle so as to untwist their end segments before cutting the two yarns to be pieced at their end segments, and the yarns are cut and pieced during or after application of the jet stream of air.
