A selvedge-forming device in shuttleless weaving looms, wherein two selvedge-forming needles are mounted for radial movement about a needle-carrying pivot arranged transversally to the warp threads and rotatably mounted in a selvedge-forming head that is slidably guided by the side of the warp threads, and is so reciprocated as to be driven forward, in the direction of the weft inserters path, and backwards, synchronously with the movement of the two weft inserters, means being provided positively controlled by the weft thread inserting needles which allow the selvedge needles to pivot back to their original position at the end of the forward run of the selvedge forming head.
