A gripper-loom drawing gripper for receiving a yarn supplied by a yarn feeder and resting on a deflection guide, the gripper serving to position the yarn and carry it into the shed. The drawing gripper is configured to define a longitudinal cavity extending from its forward end facing a filling to be received and positioned by the gripper to its opposed rearward end. The cavity of the gripper faces towards and partially encloses the deflection guide. The forward tip of the gripper includes an inclined surface for guiding a filling to a positioning device on the gripper, and a yarn clamp is also carried by the gripper. The gripper includes additional receiving and positioning devices for a filling to be inserted in the loom shed.
