Within Byzantine silk production, which outcome resulted when weavers deliberately reduced tension during weaving?

💡 Explanation

Creating elaborate patterns requires control over tension leading to deliberately reduced tension, causing supplementary weft insertion used for brocade embellishments using the Jacquard mechanism. Intentionally loosened warp threads float freely, which enables intricate patterns with additional threads using tension differences, therefore brocade patterns rather than stronger fiber being formed.
