<p>A papermaker's fabric formed of a woven fabric strip (16). The fabric strip (16) has a width less than a width (W) of the papermaker's fabric, a main portion (29) that is in form of a multi-layer weave, and two lateral edges (30, 32) that are in the form of the weaves having fewer layers than the main portion. The edges (30, 32) are formed such that when the fabric strip (16) is wound around in a continuous spiral fashion to form a papermaker's fabric, the lateral edges (30, 32) overlap one another forming a spiral seam which has a number of layers equal to that of the main portion.</p> |
