In accordance with the weft control method, a weft arrival measurement value measured by weft arrival sensors is stored, an average weft arrival value for a certain number of picks is calculated, then the calculated average arrival value is compared with a preset reference target value; and the weft length measuring system is controlled based on the result of the comparison.
