A papermakers fabric (10) is woven from machine direction yarns (11, 19, 20) and one or more layers of cross machine direction yarns (12-18). The cross machine direction yarns (12-18) in at least one of the layers comprise relatively large (12, 13, 16, 17) and small (14, 15, 18) yarns. The machine and cross machine direction yarns (11, 19, 20) are arranged such that the machine direction yarns (11, 19, 20) define outer floats or knuckles at the surfaces of the fabric and inner floats or knuckles in the body of the fabric around small cross machine direction yarns (14, 15, 18) provided in one of the cross machine direction yarn layers. The parts of the machine direction yarns provided at one surface defining the inner floats or knuckles do not extend to the plane of the obverse surface of the fabric. |
