(EN) Provided is a crimped polyamide yarn to which it is possible, using fibers that include low water-absorbent polyamide, to impart stretch properties and pliability such that it is possible for the inherent stretch properties of the crimped yarn to be appropriately expressed in a woven or knit fabric. This crimped polyamide yarn is a side-by-side composite yarn which contains at least 40 mass% of low water-absorbent polyamide having average water absorption of 5% or less at a temperature of 30°C and relative humidity (RH) of 90%, and in which the low water-absorbent polyamide is at least one component. The yarn is false-twisted, and has crimp elongation of 25% or greater.
