Abstract

Dyed cellulosic regenerated elongate members such as fibers are produced by dyeing the regenerated members with a cationic direct dye after formation but before first drying. A method of producing the dyed elongate members comprises forming a dope containing cellulose or a cellulose compound in solution in a solvent, extruding the dope through at least one orifice into a bath containing water to form an elongate extrudate from which solvent is dissolved and/or the cellulose compound is converted to cellulose so as to form the elongate member, dyeing the formed but never dried elongate member with a cationic direct dye and optionally also with an anionic direct dye and then drying for the first time the dyed elongate member.
