Abstract

A fiber composed of a polyester having at least a part of terminals blocked with the residue of at least one specific metal sulfonate compound, where the amount of the blocked terminals is 1.3 to 4.0 mol % based on the dicarboxylic acid component of the polyester and the alkali dissolution speed constant is 3.3.times.10.sup.-9 to 6.5.times.10.sup.-9 cm/sec. This polyester has a good dyeability with a cationic dye and is excellent in the heat resistance and alkali resistance. The polyester fiber can be spun at a high speed or super high speed and can be false-twisted at a high temperature.
