Abstract : This paper investigates the physio-chemical properties of yarn dyed linen fabric dyed with reactive & vat dye. The mechanical & chemical properties such as tear strength, tensile strength, seam strength, pilling, colour fastness to washing, perspiration and rubbing of those fabrics were investigated and compared with each other after making reactive & vat yarn dyed linen fabric keeping same shade%, yarn count, epi, ppi& gsm. It is claimed to bring many advantages of linen fabric quality for future. When the results were studied, it was observed that the mechanical properties like tear strength, tensile strength was found higher in yarn dyed vat linen fabric than yarn dyed reactive linen fabric& in case of colour fastness to wash & perspiration, yarn dyed vat linen fabric shows good colour fastness than yarn dyed reactive linen fabric &yarn dyed reactive linen fabric gives better rubbing fastness than yarn dyed vat linen fabric.

Keywords : tear strength; tensile strength; seam strength; pilling; colour fastness to wash; colour fastness to perspiration; colour fastness to rubbing.
