Woven papermaking fabric including stabilized weave providing textured contacting surface

A woven papermaking fabric comprising:

• a plurality of filaments woven together, the plurality of filaments comprising:
• a plurality of warp filaments extending in a longitudinal direction;
• and
• a plurality of shute filaments extending in a lateral direction, the shute filaments being interwoven with warp filaments to provide a web contacting side of the woven papermaking fabric and a machine contacting side of the woven papermaking fabric;
• and
• at least one protuberance on the web contacting side of the woven papermaking fabric, the at least one protuberance having a height from about 0.2 to about 3.0 mm and extending longitudinally over at least five shute filaments, each shute filament forming part of the at least one protuberance including:
• a float proximal end;
• and
• a float distal end;
• wherein the at least one protuberance is stabilized by including an offset shute float weave pattern configured such that a majority of the shute filaments forming the at least one protuberance are woven in an anti-nesting configuration.
