DESCRIZIONE
The present invention provides a polyethylene fiber which can attain a high dye exhaustion rate, which indicates deep color, and which is excellent in dyeability and color fastness; a woven or knit textile that uses the polyethylene fiber, and that is excellent in cut-resistance and heat-retaining property, and a glove thereof. A polyethylene fiber of the present invention is characterized by having an intrinsic viscosity [η] of 0.8 dL/g or more and less than 5 dL/g; being composed of a repeating unit substantially derived from ethylene; having pores being formed from a surface of the fiber to an inside of the fiber; having an average diameter of the pores of ranging from 3 nm to 1 μm when the diameter is measured, by each pore being approximated by a column, at a contact angle of 140 degrees, in a mercury intrusion method; a porosity of the pores of ranging from 1.5% to 20% 1; or a thermal conductivity in a fiber axis direction at a temperature of 300 K of ranging from 6 W/mK to 50 W/mK.
