A method and apparatus for preparing a plurality of separate weft yarns each to be inserted into its individual separate sheds of arrayed warp yarns in a shuttleless loom. The method is carried out by inserting a plurality of different weft yarns, each in two consecutive steps, into the individual separate sheds of warp yarns whereby different or differently colored weft yarns may be picked. The apparatus includes a plurality of storage means for storing loops of weft yarns to be inserted into the shed of warp yarns, and a plurality of engaging means associated with the plurality of storage means for engaging the loops of the weft yarns at timed intervals to cause each of the weft yarns to be successively picked into the sheds of the warp yarns in two consecutive insertions.
