A papermaker's forming fabric comprising a fabric layer including cross machine direction fabric yarns and machine direction fabric yarns interwoven to form a papermaking surface with alternating single knuckles thereon and to define top, bottom, left, and right saddles between adjacent ones of the cross machine direction fabric yarns. According to one embodiment of the invention, first and second additional cross machine direction yarns are interwoven with the base fabric between adjacent cross machine direction fabric yarns and positioned oppositely in top and bottom saddles. According to another embodiment, single additional cross machine direction fabric yarns are interwoven with the base fabric between adjacent ones of the cross machine direction fabric yarns. The single additional cross machine direction yarns are positioned successively and repeatedly in right, top, left, and then top saddle positions. |
