The invention is characterized by the splicer of the class described provided with: a traverse mechanism responsive to the grip of the holding hand of the operator for axially reciprocating a tensioned segment of a pair of oppositely extending overlapped yarn ends, a wrap wheel responsive to said grip for consecutively winding one or more helical courses of wrap thread around said segment, a stationary cutter responsive to said grip for severing the tail of the yarn end near the beginning of the first course, and a second stationary cutter responsive to said grip for severing the tail of the other yarn end near the end of the first course. The invention is further characterized by a splicer of the type described that is provided with a wrap wheel responsive to manual reverse rotation for arresting it in proper position for receiving the broken yarn ends preparatory to the beginning of a splicing operation.
