A woven fabric formed by utilizing an interlaced false twisted yarn as the warp and the process for producing such woven fabric. The interlaced yarn as the warp has such a particular configuration that the collectness of the yarn can be effectively maintained during the weaving operation and, therefore, pilling of the individual filaments and snagging can be effectively prevented, and the sizing of the warp can be omitted. Since the interlaced yarn of the invention is effective bulkiness even if the superior collectness is provided, any possible slip of yarns from the crossing point between the warp and the weft can be effectively prevented. Consequently, fabric having a low yarn density can be easily produced. When the above-mentioned fabric is woven, the warp is wet at a weaving zone between the healds and cloth-fell defined by the beating motion of the reed. Accordingly, a water jet loom is preferably utilized to produce the woven fabric of the present invention. For eliminating the problem of jet soil, preferable treating agents which are selectively applied to the multifilament yarn for producing the interlaced yarn of the present invention are disclosed.
