Abstract
A loom restarting method restarts a loom stopped due to a loom stopping cause without entailing a 'wavy set mark'. When a loom is stopped due to a loom stopping cause entailing faulty picking, the loom restarting method provides a loom stopping command, withholds the loom from a picking operation during a braking period for braking the loom to stop the same in a weaving cycle subsequent to a weaving cycle in which the loom stopping cause occurred, reverses the loom to the weaving cycle in which faulty picking occurred, removes a weft yarn picked by faulty picking, and restarts the loom to resume a normal weaving operation. The main shaft of the loom is positioned, after removing the weft yarn picked by faulty picking, at an angular position at which a picking operation is possible in the weaving cycle in which the weft yarn picked by faulty picking was removed and the reed of the loom is not in contact with a weft yarn inserted in the cloth fell of a fabric on the loom, and then the loom is restarted.
