History

Which risk increases for Byzantine artisans when re-twisting low-quality silk filament during imperial textile manufacture?

A)Uneven dye uptake
B)Increased tensile strength
C)Higher thread sheen
D)Reduced warp density

💡 Explanation

Uneven dye uptake occurs because the yarn **torsion balance** is disturbed by re-twisting fibers of varying thickness and tension. Therefore, dye penetrates areas differently, rather than producing a homogenous color from evenly twisted strands.
