Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a dyeable acrylic shrinkable fiber that only slightly shrinks when dyed and has a high shrinkage percentage even after dyeing. By spinning an incompatible spinning solution, the above object can be achieved, and a dyeable acrylic shrinkable fiber that only slightly shrinks when dyed and has a high shrinkage percentage even after dyeing can be provided.
