Fabric and fiber product

Abstract

The invention addresses the problem of providing a knitted fabric and a textile product which have excellent water absorbency, quick-drying properties, and anti-see-through properties. As a means for resolution, a knitted fabric is obtained using a crimped fiber having a torque of 30 T/m or less. The density of the knitted fabric is not less than 60 courses/2.54 cm and not less than 45 wales/2.54 cm, and the thickness of the knitted fabric is 0.45 mm or less.

1 . A knitted fabric comprising a crimped fiber having a torque of 30 T/m or less, characterized in that the knitted fabric has a density of not less than 60 courses/2.54 cm and not less than 45 wales/2.54 cm, and the knitted fabric has a thickness of 0.45 mm or less. 
     
     
         2 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the crimped fiber is a composite yarn including a false-twist crimped yarn having a torque in the S-direction and a false-twist crimped yarn having a torque in the Z-direction. 
     
     
         3 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the crimped fiber is an entangled yarn that has been subjected to interlacing processing. 
     
     
         4 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the torque of the crimped fiber is non-torque. 
     
     
         5 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the crimped fiber has a single-fiber fineness within a range of 0.3 to 1.3 dtex. 
     
     
         6 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the crimped fiber has a total fineness within a range of 40 to 80 dtex. 
     
     
         7 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the crimped fiber includes a polyester fiber or a nylon fiber. 
     
     
         8 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the knitted fabric has a weight per unit of 130 g/m 2  or less. 
     
     
         9 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the knitted fabric has a thickness within a range of 0.30 to 0.45 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the knitted fabric has applied thereto a hydrophilizing agent. 
     
     
         11 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein on at least one of the front and back surfaces of the knitted fabric, the water absorbency measured in accordance with JIS L1907-1998 5.1.2, Byreck Method, is 7 cm or more. 
     
     
         12 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein on at least one of the front and back surfaces of the knitted fabric after three washes in accordance with JIS L0217-1998, 103 Method, the water absorbency measured in accordance with JIS L1907-1998 5.1.2, Byreck Method, is 8 cm or more. 
     
     
         13 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the dryness measured in accordance with AATCC TEST METHOD 201-2014 is 10 minutes or less. 
     
     
         14 . The knitted fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein after five washes in accordance with JIS L0217-1998, 103 Method, the dryness measured in accordance with AATCC TEST METHOD 201-2014 is 12 minutes or less. 
     
     
         15 .
