Method for Making a Shaped Nonwoven

A hydroentangled nonwoven fabric comprising:

• a. a first surface a second surface, and at least first and second visually discernible zones on at least one of the first and second surface, each of the first and second zones having a different pattern of three-dimensional features that each comprise at least two distinct three-dimensional features, each of the patterns of three-dimensional features defining a microzone comprising a first region and a second region that correspond to the at least two distinct three-dimensional features, the first and second regions having a difference in values for an intensive property;
• and
• b. wherein the difference in values for an intensive property for the first region and the second region of the microzone in the first zone is different from the difference in values for the intensive property for the first region and the second region of the microzone in the second zone;
• and
• wherein the first or second visually discernible zones comprises an aperture, and wherein at least a portion of the aperture abuts at least one of the first region and the second region in the first zone or the second zone.

• a. thickness,
• b. basis weight,
• c. volumetric density;
• and
• wherein the first or second visually discernible zones comprises an aperture, and wherein at least a portion of the aperture abuts the first region in the first or second zone, and wherein at least a portion of the aperture abuts the second region in the first or second zone.
