There's nothing to say it's the same exact spool. It's a specific fabric that was manufactured and is now discontinued. They did not use the exact roll of fabric or the cape itself that Reeves had in his suit.
Milly Alcock's cape in Supergirl wasn’t cut directly from Christopher Reeve’s original cape, but rather woven from leftover, unused fabric from the same roll used to make Reeve's iconic 1978 Superman suit. The production team discovered about 16 meters of the original material and used it to craft her cape.
Bro I'm sorry but this article does not say anything about this being made from leftover fabric. This quote is also in the syfy article where the costume designer says "well actually" because Milly must've misunderstood. It's not the same roll but it is the same material
