An apparatus, for weaving leno fabric on a loom, including: a support having pivot means which enable the support to be pivotally mounted on the loom for reciprocal pivotal rotation about a pivot axis, the support carrying a plurality of ground thread blades arranged side by side in a row and spaced apart along the row to define in between neighbouring ground thread blades a guide space for a ground thread running along a predetermined pathway, a leno guide blade being located in each guide space to divide the guide space into first and second guide slots, each leno guide blade having at its terminal end a leno guide eye through which a leno thread is to be guided, adjacent ground thread blades projecting beyond the terminal end of the leno guide blade located therebetween to define a ground thread cross-over space, the ground thread and leno guide blades being arranged to extend from said pivotal axis as defined by the pivot means such that pivotal movement of the support in a first rotary direction causes the ground threads to move relatively along one of the first or second guide slots towards and into the cross-over spaces and thereby permit the ground threads to be moved laterally relative to the leno guide blades from one side to the other thereof; and such that pivotal movement of the support in a second rotary direction opposite to the said first rotary direction causes the ground threads to move relative to the ground thread blades out of the cross-over spaces and relatively along the other of the first or second guide slots away from the cross-over spaces.
