Abstract

A woven fabric comprises cross-machine direction weft yarns, and an array of interwoven warp yarns, the warp yarns being woven in the machine direction in alternating groups of relatively narrow yarns and relatively wide yarns. The narrow yarns are looped around a respective last weft yarn and backwoven, whilst the wider yarns are extended to form interdigitable loops for engagement of a pintle wire.
