A selvage-knitting needle (21) for use in a shuttleless loom is attached at an angle to a support bar (26) which is angularly movable by rocker means (31) to enable an intersection of the axes of the needle and support bar to substantially follow an arc of a circle. A pivot means (32) allows the support barto move axially substantially through a point on the circle while the support bar is being angularly moved, so that the selvage-knitting needle (21) can reciprocate through a fixed point adjacent to the fell of a tape being woven for knitting a tight selvage.
