One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a fiber treatment agent consisting of an aqueous silicone dispersion capable of quickly forming a silicone elastomer coating having elongation and strength on room-temperature drying and to provide a coating which is the dry product. Further, the object of the present invention is to provide a coating on room-temperature drying without using a high activity catalyst such as organotin compounds. The present invention provides a fiber treatment agent comprising 100 parts by mass of (A) a silicone elastomer which is an addition-reaction product of the following component (A-1) with the following components (A-2) and (A-3): (A-1) an alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having two or more alkenyl groups per molecule, (A-2) an organohydrogen polysiloxane having three or more hydrosilyl groups per molecule, (A-3) a linear diorganohydrogen polysiloxane having hydrosilyl groups only at both molecular chain terminals; 0.1 to 8 parts by mass of at least one surfactant selected from (B) anionic surfactants and (C) nonionic surfactants, 3 to 35 parts by mass of (D) colloidal silica, and 15 to 200 parts by mass of (E) water, relative to total 100 parts by mass of components (A) and (D).
