A wet laid process includes a method for making paper in which a composition containing co-refined cellulose fibers and cellulose ester fibers made into a thick stock composition in a machine chest, the thick stock is fed to a cleaning/screening zone through a device that regulates the flow rate of thick stock, the consistency of the thick stock fed to the screening/cleaning zone is reduced to form a thin stock composition; the thin stock composition is subjected to a process for cleaning the thin stock and feeding the cleaned thin stock through screens to form a cleaned and screened thin stock composition, and the cleaned and screened thin stock composition is fed to a headbox.

Provided are woven papermaking fabrics useful in the manufacture of tissue products, particularly through-air dried tissue products. The fabrics generally have a plurality of protuberances disposed on the web contacting surfaces. The protuberances are formed from a plurality warp filaments interwoven with a plurality of shute filaments and have a hollow interior pocket, which is generally bounded by the warp and shute filaments. By providing protuberances with hollow interior pockets the air permeability of the resulting woven papermaking fabric may be improved, and in certain instances may be increased, relative to similar fabrics having protuberances that are non-hollow.

The present invention relates to an industrial textile (1) having a longitudinal direction (MD) and a cross direction (CMD) and a first surface and a second surface, the industrial textile (1) extending in the cross direction from a first edge (E1) to a second edge (E2). The industrial textile (1) comprises a double warp which comprises a first warp comprising first machine direction yarns (U1, U2) and a second warp comprising second machine direction yarns (L1, L2). The yarns (U1, U2) of the first warp are arranged in above the yarns (L1, L2) of the second warp and the yarns of the first warp are at least partially offset in respect of the yarns of the second warp. The industrial textile comprises a weft comprising cross machine direction yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4). The yarns (U1, U2) of the first warp and the yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) of the weft bind themselves to each other according to a first predetermined pattern and the yarns (L1, L2) of the second warp and the yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) of the weft bind themselves to each other according to a second predetermined pattern. The first predetermined pattern and the second predetermined pattern form a textile structure which comprises the cross machine direction yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) at least on two different levels in the thickness direction of the industrial textile (1).

A fibrous structure. The structure may include a plurality of continuous or semi-continuous knuckles extending from portions of the surface of the fibrous structure in a parallel path, wherein the plurality of knuckles may be separated by adjacent continuous or semi-continuous pillows. Each knuckle may comprise a plurality of discrete pillows, the plurality of discrete pillows may be arranged in a spaced configuration along the path of each knuckle; alternatively, each pillow may comprise a plurality of discrete knuckles, the plurality of discrete knuckles may be arranged in a spaced configuration along the path of each pillow.
