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. The bottom fabric layer is stitched to the top fabric layer. The top machine direction yarns and the top cross machine direction yarns are interwoven in a series of repeat units and the bottom machine direction yarns and the bottom cross machine direction yarns are interwoven in a series of corresponding repeat units. Each repeat unit has twice the number of bottom machine direction yarns as the number of top machine direction yarns.
