Which risk increased in early Byzantine silk textile production when excessive force applied orienting fibers?

💡 Explanation

Excessive force misaligning fibers causes increased susceptibility to tearing via the mechanism of stress concentration at fiber junctures because fibers aren't properly aligned, therefore the material fails earlier rather than distributing loads evenly; the constraint is orientation.
