PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a braided yarn that is suitable for a fishing line having a high thick-thin ratio and is partially thickened in printing.SOLUTION: The braided yarn includes a braided weave and a core yarn. The braided weave is obtained by braiding a plurality of filaments and comprises the core yarn in the inside of a part of the braided weave. The braided yarn comprises a thin part, a tapered part and a thick part. The thick part or the thin part comprises a part of the braided weave having the core yarn in the inside and the braided weave is constituted of a plurality of sets of filaments in which one set consists of two filaments. In the tapered part, preferably one filament of one set of filaments is successively cut one by one, the number of the filaments is reduced so that the diameter of the braided weave is lessened in the length direction, and the cut part is incorporated into the braided weave.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】太細比の大きい釣り糸用に好適な製紐糸であって、一部を太くした製紐糸の提供すること。【解決手段】組み組織と、芯糸とを含む製紐糸であり、前記組み組織が、複数のフィラメントによって組み上げられ、前記組み組織の一部の内側に前記芯糸を含むことを特徴とする。前記製紐糸は、細部、テーパー部および太部とを含み、前記太部または細部が、前記内側に芯糸を含む前記組み組織の一部を含み、前記組み組織が、2本のフィラメントを1組とする複数組のフィラメントで構成され、前記テーパー部において、前記1組のフィラメントのうちの1本づつを順次切断し、フィラメント数を減じることで長さ方向に前記組み組織の径が小さくされており、かつ前記切断部分が組み組織の内側に組み込まれているのが好ましい。【選択図】図1
