CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much is one pound of silk (how much is a normal amount of silk)

1. What is the market price of silk?

The general price of silk is more than 200 yuan per catty, and the price of machine-made mulberry silk is 130 to 150 yuan per catty.

Mulberry silk is divided into three types: short silk, medium silk, and long silk. 100% mulberry long silk is also divided into first-grade and special-grade products. The prices vary greatly. The market price of special-grade selected duplex silk smooth tire is about 220 yuan, the market price of special-grade long silk smooth tire is about 170 yuan, the market price of special-grade machine-made mulberry silk bare liner is about 125 yuan, and the price of ordinary mulberry silk quilt liner is about 110 yuan.

2. Is the silk that costs 45 yuan per pound real silk?

Not true.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are raising silkworms, while more and more people like silk cotton and silk. Therefore, the price of silk is getting higher and higher. It has increased twenty times in thirty years. Now the market price is at least 300 yuan per catty, or even higher. The purchase price of silkworm cocoons is about 50 yuan per catty. It takes three catties of cocoons to peel one catty of silk. There are several processes involved. In addition to the labor costs, the boss always has to make money.

So the silk cotton that costs 45 yuan per pound is fake.

3. Can I buy real silk for 280 yuan per kilogram?

It is impossible to buy real silk at 280 yuan per catty, because real silk quilts are calculated by kilograms and are generally around 300-500 yuan per catty. The price of real mulberry silk quilts is relatively high. If the price is surprisingly low, it is either low-quality silk or mixed with chemical fiber. Silk is a natural fiber in nature that is light, soft and fine. Its main component is animal protein. It is smooth, breathable, soft, moisture-absorbent, non-itchy and anti-static.

4. Is silk that costs 300 yuan per pound good silk?

Answer: It is not good silk

Tussah silk is soft and elastic. It has good heat resistance, and sericin is layered and attached to the outer surface of the silk fibroin. The strength begins to weaken when the temperature reaches 140°C. It also has strong moisture resistance, accounting for about 85%; sericin is light brown, and under wet conditions, the strength can increase by 4%. The insulation, strength, elongation, embrittlement resistance, acid and alkali resistance are better than mulberry silk. However, the fabric shrinkage rate is large. Raw silk is not easy to dye.
