A warp pile yarn 14 to be used for a towel cloth including a pile yarn, a warp ground yarn, and a weft ground yarn is a sheath-core spun yarn 10 in which a core fiber is twisted in one direction, while a sheath fiber is arranged parallel to a yarn axis. The sheath-core spun yarn 10 is twisted together with a water-soluble fiber yarn 13, and a direction in which the water-soluble fiber yarn 13 is wound is reverse to a direction in which the core fiber is twisted. By way of example, the pile yarn 14 is an air-spun yarn.
