To provide a woven fabric for patterning, imparting a pattern having nonuniformity in uniformity to a nonwoven fabric, paper, a building material or the like.

The woven fabric for the patterning is formed by the repeat of one kind of a complete texture of warp yarns, and one or more kinds of complete textures of weft yarns. At least one of the complete texture in the weft complete textures is obtained by forming a knuckle part in which the weft yarn passes the under side of one warp yarn, the upper side of one or two warp yarns in the second place, and the under side of one warp yarn in the next, and forming a long crimp of the weft yarn passing four or more continuous warp yarns on the surface of the upper side in at least one kind of the complete texture of the warp yarn.
