An apparatus for producing a textile product generally includes a feeding section for providing a starting material to facilitate producing a textile product derived from the starting material; a drafting section operably coupled to the feeding section for gripping, pulling, stretching and breaking at least one strand of the starting material into at least one continuous and cohesive network of an intermediate product; and a spinning section operably coupled to the drafting section for winding and twisting the at least one continuous and cohesive network of an intermediate product onto a removable receiving member to form the textile product; the feeding section, the drafting section, and the spinning section are configured to form the textile product in a continuous operation.

The method in accordance with the invention for a textile machine, in particular a spinning or a winding machine with multiple similar workstations (1), serves the purpose of delivering a thread (7) to a coil (12), laying the thread (7) on the coil (12), for winding the thread (7) on the coil (12) and for finding a thread end wound on the coil (12) by means of a suction nozzle (4), whereas the thread end is sucked in by means of an opening turned towards the coil circumference that serves as an extraction mouth (10) of the suction nozzle (4). The thread (7) runs through the suction nozzle (4) during the delivery to the coil (12), whereas it enters through an additional opening in the suction nozzle (4) serving as an inlet mouth (9) for the thread (7) and exits the suction nozzle (4) through another opening, in particular through the extraction mouth (10). A textile machine, in particular a spinning or a winding machine, features multiple similar workstations, in each case with a thread delivery device for delivering a thread (7) to a coil (12), a thread traversing device for laying the thread (7) on the coil (12), a winding device for winding the thread (7) on the coil (12) and a suction nozzle (4) for finding a thread end wound on the coil (12), whereas the suction nozzle (4) features an opening turned towards the coil circumference that serves as an extraction mouth (10) for sucking in the thread end. The suction nozzle (4) features an additional opening serving as an inlet mouth (9) for the thread (7), and the thread (7) runs through the suction nozzle (4) during the delivery to the coil (12), whereas it enters the suction nozzle (4) through the inlet mouth (9), and exits the suction nozzle (4) through another opening, in particular the extraction mouth (10).
