In a skeining machine a retaining pin 4 is mounted on a rotary holder having a flat surface 2 so as to form an acute angle A. The wire, of this gauge, may get trapped in the acute angle A leading to difficulty in diengaging the formed skein and possible breakage of the wire. In order to avoid this a radiussed zone 5 is provided in the acute angle. If required, the pin 4 and a tip portion of the holder 1 may be permanently secured together and releasably attached to the main body of the holder. IMAGE
