To obtain a core yarn good in compoundability in a core-sheath type conjugate fiber with short fibers and having stability in a shape without spoiling hand feelings of the short fiber component.
This core yarn 11 is finely spun to surround the periphery of a filament yarn 1 with rovings 2. The filament yarn 1 consists of a core- sheath type conjugate synthetic fiber and the rovings 2 consist of a short fiber component. The above mentioned core-sheath type conjugate fiber consists of the core part consisting of a thermoplastic component 9 and the sheath part consisting of a heat fusible and adhesive component 10. The rate of the core part in the cross section of the core-sheath type conjugate fiber is 20-80% and the rate of the core-sheath type conjugate fiber in the cross section of the core yarn is 20-60%.
