A leno cloth is prepared, which comprises at least ground warp threads 1, leno warp threads 3 and weft threads 2, and in which the weft threads 2 and the ground warp threads 1 are arranged essentially interspace free. The weft threads are bound-off by means of the leno warp threads 3, which comprise a clearly lower titer relative to the ground warp threads 1, with such a lower tension relative to the ground warp threads, so that the crossings of the leno warp threads 3 with the ground warp threads 1 that are present due to the binding are arranged in a plane parallel to the plane of the maximum thickness of the weft threads. The leno warp threads 3 comprise a higher working-in or take-up into the woven cloth than the ground warp threads 1. According to a further aspect of the invention, a method for the production of a leno cloth as well as a loom for the carrying out of the method for the production of a leno cloth are described.
