To provide a spinning machine capable of stabilizing yarn tension given to the spun yarn drawn from a spinning device to obtain the span yarn with uniform quality.
A spinning unit 2 of a spinning machine is equipped with a spinning device 9, a winding device 13, and a yarn slack eliminating device 12. The spinning device 9 produces a spun yarn 10 by applying twists to a fiber bundle 8. The winding device 13 forms a package 45 by winding the spun yarn 10 discharged from the spinning device 9. The yarn slack eliminating device 12 is set between the spinning device 9 and the winding device 13, and temporarily stores the spun yarn 10 by winding the spun yarn 10 around the outer periphery of a rotating yarn slack eliminating roller 21. The spinning machine applies tension to the spun yarn 10 discharged from the spinning device 9, with the yarn slack eliminating device 12.
