PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for modifying fibers, by which modified fibers have high safety since fibers are modified without using a poisonous solvent such as carbon disulfide and which has a simple production process, prevents fuzzing, obtains modified fibers having improved tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, antistatic properties, water absorption properties and washing resistance and modifies fibers having low alkali resistance by a simple method in comparison with a conventional imitation linen finishing. SOLUTION: The method for modifying fibers comprises suspending or dispersing a cellulose ether having such a low degree of substitution that a molar degree of substitution with an alkyl group and/or a hydroxyalkyl group ranges from 0.05 to 1.3 in water or a dilute alkali aqueous solution having a concentration of an alkali of 1 mass% or less under shear force, applying the dispersion and a crosslinking agent or an aqueous resin emulsion to the fibers and thermally treating the applied fibers.
