What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 310,930 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 56 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Investing in the Future, returns 438,880 EXP for the same allowance, 41% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 310,930 EXP to 438,880 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 41%, so the wrong pick leaves 127,950 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 58 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 593,380 EXP per allowance, 35% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 54 rung behind tops out at 560,140 EXP.
At Lv 56 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 390,755 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,032,386 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 195,640 EXP, which puts this leve 20% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 1,061 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 1,061 gil.
Crawler Silk ×2 is a Lv 57 Weaver recipe, a single step, costing 6 units of raw material and 5 crystals.
Handing that in returns 51,822 EXP and 177 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
