Yarn winding machine

The invention provides a yarn winding machine. After knotting, the opportunity of removing redundant yarn ends by an operator is reliably set. An automatic winder includes a yarn supply section, a take-up section, a yarn joining device, a lower yarn capturing and guiding section, an upper yarn capturing and guiding section, an operation section, a yarn cleaner, and a control section. The control unit executes a take-up stop process for stopping the take-up operation when it is determined that the yarn is cut on the basis of the detection result of the yarn cleaner. The control unit causes the lower yarn catching guide unit and the upper yarn catching guide unit to perform catching processing. The control unit guides the lower yarn and the upper yarn to the joining device and then causes the joining device to perform a joining operation. After the splicing operation, the control unit performs a pre-restart standby process, waits until a winding restart operation input serving as a trigger for restarting the wi
