Abstract

Disclosed is an elastic yarn and an elastic fabric, relating to the technical field of textile. The elastic yarn includes a core yarn and a wrapping yarn, where the core yarn is composed of at least one elastic filament; the wrapping yarn is a yarn made of short fiber; and the wrapping yarn spirally wraps the core yarn. The elastic yarn provided by this application is used as a weft yarn and matches with an after treatment processing process, and the elastic fabric of this application has a good and stable elasticity (without elasticity loss of the fabric), and achieves a good skin feeling and a difficulty in causing scratch injury on the skin, and a stable shrinkage rate.
