A yarn false twist texturing apparatus comprising

• a frame assembly comprising a processing frame, a creel positioned on one side of the processing frame for supporting a plurality of yarn feed bobbins, and a winding frame,
• a plurality of side by side false twist imparting units mounted to said frame assembly for imparting false twist to each of a plurality of advancing yarns, with each of the false twist imparting units comprising a feed bobbin mounted in said creel, a first delivery mechanism, an elongate first heater, an elongate cooling device, a false twist unit, a second delivery mechanism, and a wind up device mounted in said winding frame so that a yarn may be guided serially therebetween, and with said first heater and said cooling device being mounted above said frame assembly, wherein said first delivery mechanism is mounted for generally vertical movement between a raised operational position directly upstream of the first heater and a lowered thread up position, and a drive for rotatably driving the first delivery mechanism when said first delivery mechanism is in said raised operative position and which is disconnected when said first delivery mechanism is in said lowered thread up position.
