Abstract: A sheet electrical heating element comprising warp yarns which are constituted of a plurality of warp electrically conductive yarns disposed at predetermined intervals and a plurality of warp electrically non-conductive yarns, one or more of which are arranged in each of said intervals of the warp electrically conductive yarns; and weft yarns which are constituted of a plurality of adjacent weft electrically non-conductive yarns and a weft woven electrode of predetermined length in the warp direction. The woven electrode is constituted of weft electrically conductive yarns forming fancy twill weave together with the warp yarns so that the texture may be loose and flexible.
