<p>There is provided a technology with which mold processability can be imparted to even a woven and knitted fabric containing natural fibers or regenerated fibers having no thermoplasticity, and with which even a woven and knitted fabric containing thermoplastic fibers having low heat resistance, such as nylon or polypropylene, shows no yellowing or hardening after processing with the result that a light-colored fabric can also be subjected to mold processing. 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.</p> |
