Abstract
A woven single layer papermakers' fabric, having a sheet support surface and a machine side surface, comprises a set of monofilament machine direction (MD) oriented warp yarns interwoven with a set of monofilament weft yarns in a ten shed repeating weave pattern, wherein in each repeat of the repeating weave pattern, at least 50% of the warp yarns each forms in the sheet support surface at least one long float over nine consecutive weft yarns. Adjacent long floats define elongated MD oriented pockets in the sheet support surface. The fabrics provide improved properties for forming and conveying topographically patterned products such as tissue.
