To provide a yarn end catching device that can stably reduce yarn breakage even when catching yarn having weak yarn strength, and that can also reduce consumption of air.

A spinning machine includes a suction pipe 44 for sucking and catching a yarn end of spun yarn 10 and for guiding the yarn end to a yarn splicing device. The suction pipe 44 includes a suction passage 62 for sucking the yarn end and a twist applying nozzle 67. The twist applying nozzle 67 injects compressed air to generate whirling airflow in the suction passage 62, and thus, the twist applying nozzle can apply twists to the spun yarn 10 introduced in the suction passage 62.
