Which outcome followed the Byzantine's controlled sericulture, where unraveling silk fibers caused weakened threads?

💡 Explanation

Standardised, poorer-quality, silk fabric output occurred because degumming—removing sericin by boiling and unraveling silk—caused fibroin fiber breakdown, diminishing thread strength over controlled production, therefore, creating a high volume of low-quality silk, rather than materials having high value.
