The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth and a textile product, which are extremely excellent in stretchability and sweat-absorbing and quick-drying properties and further have a natural material-like texture and appearance. As a means for resolution, for example, a cloth is obtained using a composite yarn containing a crimped yarn and a stretch fiber.

A stretch yarn includes a multifilament including fibers having a coiled crimping form in a fiber axial direction, wherein a coil diameter distribution of crimping in the fiber has two or more groups, a ratio of a maximum group average value to a minimum group average value of the coil diameter (a maximum group average value/a minimum group average value) is less than 3.00, and a cross section of the fibers constituting the multifilament is an eccentric core-sheath cross section.

A method for producing a compression garment for a user from an elastic fabric comprises the step of providing a base garment, fitting the garment on a supporting mannequin that has a plurality of independent heating means to independently heat different portions of the garment, measuring the compression applied to the mannequin portions by the garment and heating selected portions of the garment until the compression of the garment on the mannequin has reached a desired value.

A composite spinneret for discharging a composite polymer flow comprising a first component polymer and a second component polymer includes a measurement plate having a plurality of measurement holes for measuring each polymer component, one or more distribution plates having distribution holes for distributing each polymer component, and a discharge plate. In a lowermost layer downstream in a polymer spinning path, a polymer distribution hole group is formed in which a plurality of semicircularly arranged first component polymer distribution holes are surrounded by second component polymer distribution holes. At least some of the second component polymer distribution holes are arranged in a semicircular arc on an outer side of the circumferential portion of the first component holes. The number Ho of the arc-arranged second component holes relative to the total number Ht of second component holes in the group satisfies 1/16<Ho/Ht<.
