What do you call a unit of silk?

If a single cocoon were taken apart, you would end up with 300 to 900 meters of raw silk thread about 10 micrometers in diameter. Thus, any of the common length units would apply to raw silk thread. If these silk threads are woven into fabric. the fabric may be specified in yards or meters (of a standard width.) Silk is often dyed. Dyers would typically use weight measure for silk. To make a pound of silk, typically about 3000 cocoons are boiled in water. Boy, it sounds like silk takes a lot of work to produce! It's no wonder that silk sheets cost so much!
