Method and device for storing yarn in order to feed thread without creating twisting thereof

A method for supplying thread to a textile machine without creating torsion on the thread, comprising:

• picking up the thread from a reel onto a rotary drum driven by an electric motor:
• winding the thread supplied by the reel onto the rotary drum driven by the electric motor for a number of drum rotations;
• measuring an amount of the thread wound onto the rotary drum based on the number of drum rotations of the rotary drum;
• supplying the thread from the rotary drum to the textile machine;
• measuring an amount of the thread leaving the rotary drum to supply the textile machine;
• comparing the measured amount of the thread wound onto the rotary drum to the measured amount of the thread leaving the rotary drum;
• and
• controlling speed of the rotation of the rotary drum by the comparison so the amount of the thread leaving the rotary drum is equivalent to the amount of the thread remaining wound onto the rotary drum to maintain a reserve amount of the thread wound onto the rotary drum to be constant, and thus allowing speed at which the thread is loaded to be substantially equivalent to that at which the textile machine picks up the thread from the drum, to avoid creating the torsion on the thread being supplied to the textile machine.
