So a little fun fact when a mil has left over or damaged raw fibers is used to create yarn for knitting.
The silk you linked is knitting silk.
This is extremely low grade silk.
This silk is made from linings and hatched cocoons and is not high grade silk.

I would guess the raw silk for this was less than $10k a ton.

It is extremely overpriced and has the profits of a dozen middlemen included in the price.

Multiplying an amazon price by 2000 is not how you get retail prices.
That's just ridiculous.

Here is a link for wholesale silk for textiles in varying qualities.

$20-50 a kilo

20-50k a ton.

Getting 200-300k a ton is excessive for apparel.
Not that it cant be sold but you are looking at basically the BT tie prices

For high tech textiles I could see it maybe. But that will be limited quantity for a while i think
