PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a three-layered circular knitted fabric which, while being excellent in contact cool feeling and hygroscopicity, is improved in moisture diffusibility so as to be provided with quick-drying properties, does not cause stuffy feeling, and is comfortable because of high contact cool feeling, and which allows quick drying of sweat, thereby being able to suppress sticky feeling and evaporative cooling.SOLUTION: A three-layered circular knitted fabric has a three-layer structure and has been subjected to a water-absorption finishing process. Knitted loops of cellulosic long fibers and hydrophobic long fibers arranged in the skin surface-side layer of the circular knitted fabric when it is used as clothes are connected in the wale direction of the knitted fabric. The circular knitted fabric contains the cellulosic long fibers in an amount of 10-50 wt.%. An uneven height difference on the skin surface-side layer is 0.13-0.6 mm. The exposure percentage of the cellulosic long fibers in a region within 0.13 mm from the surface of the skin surface-side layer toward the inside of the knitted fabric is 30% or more. The level of contact cool feeling of the circular knitted fabric is 110-200 W/m°C. In addition, in the three-layered circular knitted fabric, the time which elapses before the moisture percentage of the circular knitted fabric after dropping of 0.3 cc of water on the circular knitted fabric becomes 10% is 50 minutes or less.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】接触冷感性や吸湿性に優れながら、水分の拡散性を向上させ、速乾性を付与した、蒸れ感を感じず、接触冷感が高く快適で、汗をすばやく乾燥させることにより、ベタツキ感や汗冷えを抑制することができる３層構造丸編地の提供。【解決手段】３層構造を有し、吸水加工が施された３層構造丸編地であって、衣服として使用されるときの該丸編地の肌面層に配置されるセルロース系長繊維と疎水性長繊維の編みループが編地のウェール方向につながっており、該丸編地はセルロース系長繊維を１０〜５０重量％含有し、該肌面層の凹凸高さの差が０．１３〜０．６ｍｍであり、該肌面層表面から該編地の内部に向かって０．１３ｍｍ以内の領域における前記セルロース系長繊維の露出比率が３０％以上であり、該丸編地の接触冷感性が１１０〜２００Ｗ／ｍ2℃であり、かつ、該丸編地に水０．３ｃｃを滴下した後の該丸編地の水分率が１０％になる時間が５０分以下である、前記３層構造丸編地。【選択図】なし
