← HistoryWhich outcome occurs from over-twisting silk threads during drawloom weaving?
A)Increased fabric water absorbency
B)Decreased resistance to seam slippage
C)Enhanced pattern sharpness on fabric
D)Fiber torsional stress concentration✓
💡 Explanation
Over-twisting the silk filament increases internal Fiber torsional stress concentration, eventually causing breaks or weakness, because the imposed strain exceeds its elastic limit; therefore, filament fractures, rather than improving the fabric's physical properties.
