Which risk increases substantially due to inefficient 'throwing' of silk during Byzantine patterned textile production?

💡 Explanation

Warp threads must withstand mechanical stress; inefficient silk throwing impairs fiber alignment, initiating work hardening. Misalignment causes increased stress concentrations, predisposing the warp threads to breakage because the silk isn't uniform, therefore tensile strength is reduced rather than the fibers being chemically changed.
