A shuttleless loom having at least one weft thread carrier movable across the whole shed for inserting a weft thread between the warp threads, and a device for throwing and recovering the weft thread carrier. The device comprises a guide for returning the carrier which has passed across the shed to the throwing position without stopping it and means such as a flywheel for accelerating the returned carrier to confer to it the initial throw speed. The flywheel defines the inner wall of a circular guide portion tangent to a throwing and a returning portion of the guide and has means for entraining the thread carrier. A controlled throw door causes the accelerated carrier to be timely thrown out of the circular guide portion for catching the weft thread and inserting it between the warp threads.
