Abstract: A heat-fusible yarn that melts at 105° C. or less is fused with a whole or a part of a ground yarn that is a natural fiber yarn and/or a synthetic fiber yarn. A knitted product including the heat-fusible yarn in an unmelted state is efficiently produced by form-knitting with use of a flat knitting machine while knitting the heat-fusible yarn into the whole or a part of the ground yarn. The heat-fusible yarn melts at 105° C. or less, thereby causing the heat-fusible yarn to melt and to be fused with the ground yarn by a steam iron without using a large-scale heat treatment apparatus. The heat-fusible yarn is fused with the ground yarn of the knitted product, thereby preventing shrinkage and stretching of the ground yarn.
