History

Which outcome occurred when Byzantine silk thread lacked sericin?

A)Reduced dye uptake developed
B)Increased structural thread strength
C)Improved weaving loom efficiency
D)Greater trade monopoly revenue

💡 Explanation

Reduced dye uptake occurred because sericin normally enhances dye penetration into silk fibers via the mechanism of hygroscopic action; therefore, the silk appeared faded, rather than maintaining its vibrant intended color and appearance.
