Eldon-produced Creel Caps ( Typical )

Creel caps are a cost-effective way to minimize yarn breaks when pulling yarn off a package tube. Cardboard or fiber tubes can easily become damaged on the end. This damage can snag filaments and cause the yarn to break.

Inserting one of our creel caps into the end of the tube gives a smooth, defect-free surface for the yarn to contact. This helps minimize yarn breakage, especially in the last 25% of the yarn package.

Eldon Specialties offers creel caps in many common sizes (see table below).

Custom sizes are also available for orders of sufficient quantity.

Different colors of plastic can be provided depending on your specifications.
