To provide a method for taking up a striate body that surely prevents damage of a striate body when switching a bobbin for taking up the striate body.

In the method for taking up the striate body 1, the striate body 1 is taken up by a second bobbin 2b continuously without interrupting running of the striate body 1 after completing take-up of the striate body 1 by a first bobbin 2a by holding and taking back a take-up end part of the striate body 1 taken up by the first bobbin 2a by a driving roller 7 and a pressing roller 6a arranged between the first bobbin 2a and the second bobbin 2b. The take-up end part of the striate body 1 is held by the driving roller 7 and the pressing roller 6a after deviation of revolving speed of the driving roller 7 becomes equal to or under deviation Y determined by Y=25,000×X-1.34(%) with respect to target revolving speed determined from linear velocity X of the striate body 1.
