Abstract: The loom contains a weaving station, at which warp yarns can be interwoven by at least one weft yarn, a device for supplying the warp yarns, and a device for supplying the at least one weft yarn. A shedding device for forming a shed from the warp yarns, and a weft insertion needle for inserting a weft yarn loop into the shed, are also present. The weft yarn loop is tied off with a knitting needle and beaten with a reed. A take-down device serves to draw off the woven fabric that is produced. In order to produce a profiled woven article, the weaving station is assigned a fabric holder with a shaping aperture whose opening cross section corresponds substantially to the cross section of the profiled woven article that is to be produced with a round or polygonal cross section.
