History

Which risk increased within Byzantine silk weaving due to static electricity?

A)Localized dye color alteration
B)Thread breakage during unwinding
C)Premature spinning wheel wear
D)Increased silk worm mortality

💡 Explanation

Thread breakage increased because static electricity resulted in increased electrostatic attraction causing fibers to cling together during the unwinding step. Yarn tension exceeded limits, therefore threads increasingly snapped, rather than maintained integrity during production.
