Which unintended material property limited Byzantine silk brocade loom output?

A)Warp thread tensile force
B)Silk fiber moisture content
C)Natural dye color fading
D)Metal thread alloy corrosion

💡 Explanation

Excessive silk fiber moisture content during the weaving process increased thread stickiness, causing warp thread breaks because of increased surface cohesion; therefore loom efficiency declined rather than the warp threads benefiting because moisture reduces tensile force, and neither dyes nor metal alloys determined machine performance.
