Woven or knitted fabric

Abstract

A woven and knitted fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a yarn containing elastic fibers and at least one kind of non-elastic fibers. The woven and knitted fabric is subjected to mold processing. The elastic fibers contain heat-fusible polyurethane elastic filaments each having a fineness of 17 dtex or more, and at least part of the heat-fusible polyurethane elastic filaments is heat-fused in the woven and knitted fabric. The woven and knitted fabric is subjected to the mold processing at 120 to 190° C.

1 . A woven and knitted fabric, comprising a yarn containing elastic fibers and at least one kind of non-elastic fibers, the woven and knitted fabric being subjected to mold processing,
 wherein:   the elastic fibers contain heat-fusible polyurethane elastic filaments each having a fineness of 17 dtex or more;   at least part of the heat-fusible polyurethane elastic filaments is heat-fused in the woven and knitted fabric; and   the woven and knitted fabric is subjected to the mold processing at 120 to 190° C.   
     
     
         2 . A woven and knitted fabric according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein:   the elastic fibers comprise polyurethane elastic filaments;   a mixture ratio of the polyurethane elastic filaments in the woven and knitted fabric is 5% or more; and   a mixture ratio of the heat-fusible polyurethane elastic filaments in the polyurethane elastic filaments is 50% or more.   
     
     
         3 . A woven and knitted fabric according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the woven and knitted fabric subjected to the mold processing after dyeing processing has a color change resistance grade according to JIS L0804 of Grade 3 or more. 
     
     
         4 . A woven and knitted fabric according to any  claim 1 , which has a forming rate of 20% or more after the mold processing.
