<p>A two-ply forming fabric is provided having an upper paper carrying/forming layer which comprises twice as many cross machine direction yarns as the lower, machine-side layer. A system of machine direction yarns interweaves in a selected repeat pattern such that a zigzag effect is produced on the underside of the fabric by the machine direction yarns (21, 22, 23) to provide improved drainage. The higher count of upper layer CMD yarns selectively interwoven in a nontwill pattern with 80 %-100 % cover of MD yarns provides an improved paper forming/carrying surface.</p> |
