Papermaking felt

A papermaking felt comprising:

• a base fabric layer and at least one batt layer integrated with the base fabric layer,
• wherein the base fabric layer comprises at least two layers of a first base fabric layer and a second base fabric layer, in which each of the first base fabric layer and the second base fabric layer is formed by spirally winding a band-shaped body having a width smaller than a width of the papermaking felt and having a plurality of ground warp yarns, a plurality of ground weft yarns, a first side edge, and a second side edge in such a manner that the first side edge and the second side edge are adjacent and joining the side edges together, and the first base fabric layer and the second base fabric layer are laminated together such that their directions of spiral winding are different each other, and
• wherein a straight line passing through a first intersection point and a second intersection point of the side edges of a respective band-shaped bodies of the first base fabric layer and the second base fabric layer has a minimum angle to a cross-machine direction, and a magnitude of a displacement in a machine direction to the cross-machine direction between two intersection points formed by the straight line and both ends of the papermaking felt is 2 cm or more.
