Abstract
A papermaker's fabric includes: a set of top machine direction yarns; a set of top cross machine direction yarns interwoven with the top machine direction yarns to form a top fabric layer; a set of bottom machine direction yarns; a set of bottom cross machine direction yarns interwoven with the bottom machine direction yarns to form a bottom fabric layer; and a plurality of stitching yarns interwoven with the top and bottom fabric layers. The yarns are interwoven as a series of repeat units. In each of the repeat units, each top cross machine direction yarn forms multiple paper side floats, and at least a first of the paper side floats passes over a first number of top machine direction yarns, and at least a second of the paper side floats passes over a second number of top machine direction yarns that differs from the first number by one.
