Claim 16:
17. A method of forming a wet-laid tissue product comprising the steps of:
a. dispersing a crosslinked softwood pulp fiber having a Curl Index of about 0.30 or less and a Kink Index of about 1.5 mm−1 or less in water to form a first fiber slurry;
b. dispersing a non-crosslinked wood pulp fiber in water to form a second fiber slurry;
c. depositing the first and the second fiber slurries in a layered arrangement on a moving belt to form a wet-laid tissue web; and
