The invention relates to a guide-type gathering spinning method. A guiding device is suspended and fixed above a lattice ring in the gathering area. The distance between the bottom surface of the guiding device and the surface of the lattice ring is 1-5 mm. The guiding device is internally provided with a hollow cavity. The inlet and outlet direction of the hollow cavity is the same as the running direction of a sliver. The hollow cavity is communicated with the space in a gathering groove. An included angle which is less than 90 degrees is formed between the slotting direction of the gathering groove and the running direction of the sliver. According to the guide-type gathering spinning method, the structure is simple, and easy to install and realize. Compared with a traditional gathering spinning method, the method is capable of effectively reducing the pressure of the negative pressure air flow in the gathering spinning, guaranteeing the quality of the finally obtained gathered yarns, greatly reducing the energy consumption of the gathering spinning, and saving the production cost, and has the good practical value and the promotional value.
