A weft raising member is mounted adjacent the advanced position of the hook of a latch needle reciprocated alongside one edge of a fabric being woven on a shuttleless loom. Each time a weft thread is inserted through a warp shed by a carrier from the opposite side of the fabric, the weft raising member operates to raise the inserted weft thread against its tension and hence to cause the hook of the latch needle to pass thereunder. The weft raising member is lowered immediately thereafter to permit the weft thread to become straight again and caught in the open hook of the latch needle, which needle will then form a loop of the weft thread to anchor the same.
