To provide a spinning machine capable of efficiently removing a spun yarn residing on a yarn storing roller.

The spinning machine includes the yarn storing roller, an electric motor, and a unit controller. The yarn storing roller is rotated with the spun yarn produced by a spinning device and wound on the outer peripheral face thereof, to temporarily store the spun yarn. The electric motor drives the rotation of the yarn storing roller, The unit controller performs first control to control the electric motor to reversely rotate the yarn storing roller when it is necessary to unwind the spun yarn wound on the yarn storing roller. Then, the unit controller performs second control to control the electric motor to reversely rotate the yarn storing roller at a higher rotating speed than in the first control. The unit controller temporarily increases the reversely rotating speed of the yarn storing roller in the second control to control the throw-off of the yarn tangled in a flyer.
