The invention concerns an improved yarn package and a method winding a package of high Young's modulus yarn. The package has a low normalized standard deviation in unwinding tension and hence is very suitable for converting into a range of yarn constructions and particularly medical products.

A fiber catching device includes a base having an inboard portion and an outboard portion, an external wall extending upwardly from the inboard portion of the base, an outboard hook extending upwardly from the outboard portion of the base and extending to a height above the external wall, and at least one receiver disposed between the external wall and the outboard hook. In one variation, a plurality of protrusions are disposed on the external wall and define a plurality of gaps there between.
