Abstract

A heat-fusible yarn that melts at 105° C. or less is fused with a whole or a part of a ground yarn that is a natural fiber yarn and/or a synthetic fiber yarn. A knitted product including the heat-fusible yarn in an unmelted state is efficiently produced by form-knitting with use of a flat knitting machine while knitting the heat-fusible yarn into the whole or a part of the ground yarn. The heat-fusible yarn melts at 105° C. or less, thereby causing the heat-fusible yarn to melt and to be fused with the ground yarn by a steam iron without using a large-scale heat treatment apparatus. The heat-fusible yarn is fused with the ground yarn of the knitted product, thereby preventing shrinkage and stretching of the ground yarn.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide: a knitted product which uses natural fiber yarn and/or synthetic fiber yarn, and in which elongation and contraction of ground yarn can be effectively inhibited without using a large-scale thermal treatment device; and a production method for the knitted product. [Solution] According to the present invention, thermal fusion bonding yarn that melts at 105°C or lower is fusion-bonded to all or a portion of ground yarn that is natural fiber yarn and/or synthetic fiber yarn. A knitted product, in which the thermal fusion bonding yarn is not melted, is efficiently produced by forming using a flat knitting machine while knitting the thermal fusion bonding yarn into all or a portion of the ground yarn. Since the thermal fusion bonding yarn melts at 105°C or lower, the thermal fusion bonding yarn can be melted by an electric steam iron so as to be fusion-bonded to the ground yarn, without using a large-scale thermal treatment device. Since the thermal fusion bonding yarn is fusion-bonded to the ground yarn of the knitted product, elongation and contraction of the ground yarn can be inhibited.
