Answer 3

It depends on where you buy it. There are lot of different types of silk to ranging in price. It would be best to just go a a fabric retailer and see the price range there. It could to shop around before actually purchasing something. If you want to know the average price it would be about $30.00 per square foot at a resonable price- but because you haven't said what type of silk and the quality you need I can't answer that to exactly.

Answer 4

If you mean "in the Middle Ages" or another long-ago period, it's hard to say because you have to relate that price to the cost of living at the time. "15 dollars an ounce" - for just the thread! - sounds perhaps reasonable until you realize that this is equal to half a month's wages for a labourer. A finished product - requiring much, much more material than 1 oz. of thread, plus labor etc. - might easily cost him more than several year's wages.

A few other comparisons from the Middle Ages: that price for 1 oz. of silk thread would have bought you either 6 gallons of beer, more than a gallon of lamp oil, almost 2 lb. of (expensive) wax candles, 100 US pints of wheat or 6 lb. of tin plate.
