Indeed, weaving in the modern era is likely to be a far smaller percentage of the price than it was historically, but there's also likely to be some kind of conversion factor based on how much by mass of that silkworm cocoon converts to silk cloth and how much is wasted (oh, and the mass/area conversion may be different). Presumably historical prices will be for woven cloth and not yarn. Be prepared for apparently arbitrary historical units of measurement that made sense at the time.
