← HistoryWhich outcome results when drawloom tension imbalances occur during Byzantine silk textile production?
A)Warp thread breakage increases drastically
B)Dye uptake becomes severely non-uniform
C)Pattern resolution declines considerably✓
D)Raw material consumption rises sharply
💡 Explanation
Reduced pattern resolution arises because uneven tension affects precise interlacing. Skewed shed geometry causes misaligned weft insertion, therefore the pattern blurs, rather than causing breakage, dye problems, or increased resource use which relate poorly to uneven warps in complex weaves.
