Multilayer structured spun yarn, method for producing the same, fabric, and clothing
A multilayer structured spun yarn includes core component fibers as an elastic multifilament yarn and sheath component fibers with inner and outer layer fibers. The inner layer fibers of the sheath component fibers are untwisted, and entirely bundled by the outer layer fibers wound therearound in one direction. The sheath component fibers are blended fibers containing animal hair fibers and short fibers other than animal hair fibers, and a blending proportion of the animal hair fibers is 5 to 50 mass % with respect to 100 mass % of the multilayer structured spun yarn. The multilayer structured spun yarn can produce a fabric in which abrasion resistance, weft elasticity, and anti-pilling properties are improved, a method for producing the same, a fabric, and clothing.
