The invention relates to a circular loom (1) for producing a circular woven fabric (14), comprising: a main axis (2); a reed for guiding a shuttle for weft yarns; a supply holder (3) for warp yarns (5); a drawing-in device (7) for drawing in the warp yarns (5) from the supply holder (3); an arrangement of guiding and length-compensating elements (13) comprising feedthroughs (19) for the warp yarns (5) drawn in by the drawing-in device (7); an outer stop (20) against which the guiding and length-compensating elements (13) are positioned in an outer stop position when they are in an initial state in which they are not loaded by the warp yarns (5); an inner stop (21) against which the guiding and length-compensating elements are positioned in an inner stop position; a middle stop (22) against which the guiding and length-compensating elements are positioned in an operating position, wherein the guiding and length-compensating elements (13) each comprise a spring rod (16) having a first spring rod part (17) on which the feedthrough (19) is provided, wherein the first spring rod part (17) can be deflected in the operating position by being bent up to the inner stop position at the inner stop (21), wherein the spring rods (16) each comprise a second spring rod part (18) which presses the guiding and length-compensating element (13) into the outer stop position when it is in an initial state in which it is not loaded by the warp yarns (5).
