Divisible hollow copolyester fibers having a satisfactory processing property, for example, carding property and capable of being divided by applying a mechanical stress thereto into fibril-like thin fibers, each include a hollow portion surrounded by a shell portion and extending along the longitudinal axes of the hollow fibers, wherein the shell portion is made from a copolyester of an acid component including terephthalic acid and 1 to 6 molar % of a sulfonate group-containing dicarboxylic acid, with a diol component including ethylene glycol; the hollow fibers have (1) thickness of 0.56 to 8.89 d tex (0.5 to 8.0 denier), (2) a hollow ratio of 25/100 or more, (3) a crystallization degree of 20% or more, and (4) a crystal size in (010) plane of 4 nm or more; and the shell portions each have a plurality of cracks intermittently extending along the longitudinal axes of the hollow fibers. <IMAGE> |
