The polyurethane of the present invention comprises a high molecular weight polyol, an organic polyisocyanate, and a low molecular weight polyol, and has a crosslinked structure. The bonds forming the crosslinked points in the polyurethane comprise urethane bonds formed by the reaction of aromatic hydroxyl groups and aliphatic isocyanato groups and/or urethane bonds formed by the reaction of aromatic hydroxyl groups and benzylic isocyanato groups, being 0.1 to 50% of the total urethane bonds. The polyurethane of the present invention is superior in elastic recovery, and the urethane bonds of the crosslinked points reversibly dissociate and bond beyond a certain temperature. Consequently, it is possible to manufacture, from this polyurethane, an elastic fiber which has a high heat setting rate above a certain temperature, and which has elastic recovery after a heat setting process which is as superior as the elastic recovery before the heat setting process.
