Abstract: Process for dyeing textile materials of cellulose, by means of direct dyestuffs or reactive dyestuffs, by padding with aqueous dyeing liquors which contain cyclic carboxylic acid amides of the formula ##STR1## in which R represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl radical or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl radical andA represents an alkylene radical required to complete a five-membered to seven-membered ring system and optionally substituted by halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl andn is 0 or 1,and, optionally, glycol compounds of the formula ##STR2## in which R' and R"' independently of one another represent hydrogen, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl group or an acetyl group,R" represents hydrogen or methyl,n represents a number from 0 to 2 andX represents an oxygen atom or a sulphur atom, and fixing of the dyestuffs.
