Abstract
A papermakers fabric comprises a felt made up of a base cloth and a batt of fibres needled to the base cloth. The papermakers fabric is woven from machine direction yarns and cross machine direction yarns. The machine direction yarns form a series of loops at each of the fabric ends, the two sets of loops being interdigitable and capable of union by a pintle wire. The machine direction yarns comprise a core of cabled monofilaments surrounded by a sheath of multifilaments.
