An improved textile dryer has a dryer fabric for transporting a textile through at least one through-air drying zone. The fabric is woven from synthetic monofilament yarns. The monofilament yarn dimensions and fabric weave pattern are selected to provide permeability greater than 900 CFM and initial tensile strength measured in the machine direction of greater than about 100 PLI. The monofilament yarns are formed from polymers which provide high thermal and hydrolytic stability, thereby enabling the dryer fabric to maintain strength for extended use in the textile drying environment. Preferred monofilament yarns are made of unalloyed polyphenylene sulfide.

A textile dryer fabric comprising synthetic monofilament yarns interwoven in a repeating pattern into a single layer fabric having a single layer of machine direction yarns and a single layer of cross machine direction yarns having an open area of at least 44.3%, and heat set such that the fabric has a permeability in excess of 900 CFM, an initial tensile strength measured in the machine direction of at least 100 PLI, and wherein said monofilament yarns are made of a material selected such that the fabric loses less than about 10 percent of said initial tensile strength after continuous exposure to dry air at 400°F. for 30 days.
