A process of producing viscose yarn comprising providing a spinning bath, feeding a viscose solution through spinneret dies into said spinning bath to spin viscose yarn, finally regenerating and concurrently cooling the spun yarn, now carrying entrapped carbon bisulfide in the form of an emulsion, from said spinning bath at a temperature below the boiling point of the carbon bisulfide, then, while maintaining the finally regenerated yarn in the cooling condition, washing the yarn with water whereby some water, in addition to the carbon bisulfide, is also entrapped in the yarn and subjecting the thus-washed yarn to avivage treatment, drying the resulting yarn at an elevated temperature sufficient to concurrently remove both the entrapped water and carbon bisulfide from the yarn, and winding the resulting dried, carbon bisulfide-free yarn into a package.
