Planar heat-generating knit and planar heat-generating element

Abstract

Provided is a planar heat-generating knit in which conductive yarns can be installed freely in the knit, which has excellent stretchability and rapid warming property while having fine shape followability against a complex shape of an object to be heated. A planar heat-generating knit 10 including a knit including a plurality of conductive yarns 100 as a heat-generating part, wherein the knit is knitted by warp knit; and the conductive yarns 100 each include a core yarn 110 and a conductive sheath yarn 120 wound around said core yarn 110; the conductive sheath yarn 120 is a metal wire 121 coated with an insulating resin 122; and the respective conductive yarns 100 included in the knit are arranged so that a difference between a maximum separation distance and a minimum separation distance between the adjacent conductive yarns 100 is from 0 mm to 14 mm.
