The characteristic of the modified fiber material is that it can be dyed with dye solutions of water-soluble, anionic textile dyes which are low in electrolytes or entirely free of electrolytes and/or are low in alkali or entirely free of alkali. The advantage of a dyeing process carried out in this manner, in particular for fiber-reactive dyes, is that fixation of the dyes under alkaline conditions is unnecessary.
