Industrial textile

An industrial textile for use in a fibrous web forming and/or processing machine, the textile comprising:

• a fabric having a web contacting side and a machine contacting side and having a transversal edge section at two longitudinal ends thereof to be joined together to render the textile endless;
• said fabric being made of MD-yarns interwoven with CD-yarns, said MD-yarns having MD-yarn groups formed of at least two adjacent MD-yarns;
• said MD-yarns of each said MD-yarn group weaving side-by-side the same weave path with said CD-yarns;
• each of said MD-yarn groups including a first MD-yarn and a second MD-yarn arranged such that said first and second MD-yarn are adjacent each other;
• said first MD-yarn of an MD-yarn group being non-adjacent said first MD-yarn of an adjacent MD-yarn group and said second MD-yarn of said MD-yarn group being non-adjacent said second MD-yarn of said adjacent MD-yarn group;
• wherein, at each said transversal edge section, said first MD-yarn of a first MD-yarn group forms a first loop and weaves back into the weave path of said first MD-yarn of a second MD-yarn group, and said second MD-yarn group is adjacent said first MD-yarn group.
