Today, the spot listing price of cocoon in China cocoon and silk trading market is 120 yuan/kg.
To make a silk quilt, the raw silk output of cocoon is about 60%, which means that the raw silk price needs at least 100 yuan. Attention, this is raw silk! ! Namely silk containing sericin. Making silk quilts requires cooking and degumming, otherwise raw silk is not soft, but hard! Silk boiling needs to remove about 22% sericin, so the price of silk boiling needs at least 130 yuan.
Considering the offset of processing fee and sales of silkworm chrysalis by-products, the price of cooked silk is reasonable between 120- 160.
Silk quilt also needs to consider the price and labor cost of quilt cover. Generally speaking, 4 kg of silk quilt cover, 200 yuan quilt cover, 200 yuan labor cost and 600 yuan silk, roughly 1000 yuan is more reasonable.
In short, when buying silk quilts online, we should distinguish the grades and types, and don't buy "silk quilts" in a muddle. Because there are mulberry silk, tussah silk, medium-long silk, mixed silk and short-staple old silk, we should choose 100% high-quality mulberry silk quilts.
