History

Which outcome followed from improvements to drawloom design increasing silk production capacity in Byzantium?

A)Greater long-staple cotton availability
B)Complex figural textile construction
C)Demand increased for flax cultivation
D)Reduced material pigment degradation

💡 Explanation

The development of automated drawlooms enabled complex patterned weaving incorporating figural textile construction, using a Jacquard type punched card process. This increased output, therefore detailed silks became widely used, rather than simpler dye patterns with inherent pigment degradation.
