In order to reduce the rate of wear of a papermakers fabric having a loop seam, especially in the region of such loop seam, a protective facing of additional cross-machine direction yarns is provided at the intended roller side of the fabric. The additional yarns are woven integrally with the fabric and are arranged to float at the face of the fabric, and define a surface to the fabric as a whole which is displaced outwardly of the fabric in relation to the surface of the basic weave structure. |
