← HistoryWhich outcome resulted when Byzantine silk brocade workshops refined sericulture practices to achieve higher concentration weaving?
A)Increased dye saturation and contrast✓
B)Reduced cocoon denier and silk yield
C)Lowered trade secret protection level
D)Diminished overall fabric softness
💡 Explanation
Greater control over silk properties enhanced dye uptake on individual strands through a mechanism similar to capillary action, because dyes adhered more uniformly in concentrated weaves; therefore improved dye intensity resulted, rather than weakened structural integrity.
