La présente invention concerne une fibre de cellulose possédant une section hautement homogène et plus particulièrement une fibre de cellulose possédant un coefficient de variation (CV(%)) plus faible du diamètre de la section. La présente invention concerne plus précisément une fibre de cellulose se caractérisant par le fait que le coefficient de variation (CV(%)) du diamètre de la section d'un monofilament constituant un fil multifilament préparé par dissolution d'une poudre de cellulose dans du N-méthylmorpholine N-oxyde (ci-après 'NMMO') est inférieur à 2,5. Selon la présente invention, un fil multifilament à base de fibre cellulosique à haute ténacité (Lyocell) est produit à l'aide d'un procédé comprenant des étapes: (i) de préparation d'une solution de filage par dispersion homogène, gonflement et dissolution d'une poudre de cellulose dans une solution de NMMO; (ii) de filage de la solution de filage dans un espace par une filière; et (iii) de coagulation de la solution de filage filée par fusion dans un bain de coagulation. Plus particulièrement, l'étape de coagulation est ajustée à l'aide d'un coefficient de coagulation dans une plage comprise entre 0,8 et 1,3 et le coefficient de coagulation s'exprime par la formule TD'/TC,TD'= TD+TA 90 et TD, TA et TC désignant la température d'une solution de filage, la température d'un air de refroidissement appliqué dans un espace et la température d'un bain de coagulation, respectivement.
