A nonwoven fabric having an excellent water absorption, a satisfactory softness and hand feeling, and a superior processability and wet mechanical strength, comprises synthetic fibers and water-absorbent cellulosic fibers intertwined with each other, the water-absorbent cellulosic fibers comprising cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose fibers having a carboxymethyl group-substitution degree of 0.35 to 1.6, and being produced by forming a precursory nonwoven web from the synthetic fibers and cellulose fibers intertwined with each other, and carboxy methylating and cross-linking separately or simultaneously the cellulose fibers in the precursory nonwoven fabric by using a carboxymethylating agent and a cross-linked agent, to convert the precursory nonwoven web to a water-absorbent nonwoven fabric. |
