← HistoryWhich 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.
