A composite fabric, particularly for a paper making wire, contains at least two warp sheets ( 10, 12 ) of individual warp threads ( 8 ). One of the warp sheets ( 10 ) forms an upper side ( 14 ) of the fabric. Another warp sheet ( 12 ) forms a lower side ( 16 ) of the fabric. Weft threads ( 18, 20 ) are woven into at least the warp sheet ( 10 ) which constitutes the upper side ( 14 ). By creating an alternating pattern ( 22 ) for the warp threads ( 8 ) of one warp sheet ( 10 ), at least one pair of weft threads ( 18, 20 ) are interlaced in the form of supporting weft threads. One of the weft threads ( 18 ) then produces an alternating pattern ( 22 ) for a predetermined number of warp threads ( 8 ). The other weft thread ( 20 ) belonging to the pair runs at least partially between both warp sheets ( 10, 12 ) and is used as a supporting bridge ( 24 ) for several successive warp threads ( 8 ) within the respective pattern ( 22 ). The two weft threads ( 18, 20 ) of each pair of weft threads intersect each other at predetermined points ( 26 ). The weft thread ( 18 ) forming the pattern ( 22 ) is embodied as a thread-supporting bridge ( 24 ) and vice-versa, providing transversal stability and at the same time ensuring that the composite fabric is held in a highly flexible manner.
