Abstract
The picking apparatus operates to pick a weft yarn into a shed with a predetermined excess length. A weft stretching nozzle receives the excess length at the forward end of the weft thread while stretching the weft yarn from the catching side of the shed. After termination of picking and during an initial phase of the beating-up movement of the reed, the weft yarn is pulled back on the picking side by the amount of the excess length. The stretching effect on the weft yarn is effective and uniform and obtains a better fabric during weaving.
