The invention firstly relates to a weaving machine for weaving pile fabrics consisting of weft yams, backing warp yams and pile warp yams comprising: one or several spacers (4, 4a, 4b) extending between the pile warp yams and which are provided either to realize a constant pile height between two pile fabrics formed, or to determine the pile loop height in one or several pile fabrics comprising pile loops; one or several holders (5, 5a, 5b) for clamping the spacers (4, 4a, 4b); one or several shed forming devices, driving heddles (7) through which backing and/or pile warp yams extend in order to position these warp yarns with respect to the weft yams; a yarn supply; a zone for supplying pile warp yams extending between the yam supply and the heddles (7) controlled by the shed forming device, and one or several holders (5, 5a, 5b) being installed between the yam supply and the one or several shed forming devices in order to clamp the spacers (4, 4a, 4b), wherein the said holders (5, 5a, 5b) have been installed outside the said supply zone, such that the pile warp yams may be extending in the supply zone without hindrance. On the other hand, the invention refers to a method being carried out by means of such a weaving machine and furthermore a spacer for such a weaving machine. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
