can eliminate fluffs from the surface of a yarn joint. In a winder 1 having a splicing
device 6 placed between a yarn supplying section 2 and a winding section 7, a yarn
joint finishing device 10 comprising a liquid applying member 11 for applying a liquid
to a yarn running path R and a fluff smoothing member 12 that comes in contact with
the yarn running path R is provided in the splicing device 6 and its neighborhood.
The liquid applying member 11 and fluff smoothing member 12 of the yarn joint finishing
device 10 are integrated together using a contact surface member 13 that wets the
liquid applying member and fluff smoothing member with a liquid. The yarn joint finishing
device comprises two sets of the contact surface member 13, and the contact surface
member 13 of each set can advance and withdraw between a standby position located
