It's actually pretty thick.<br /><br />But if you mean the second? the one on the book cover? It's a bit delicate, but not nearly as delicate as it looks. I'm making it with wool lace yarn, so I'm starting with a spun two-ply fiber, and then each crochet stitch doubles that over again, so it's four-ply, which is a fair amount of strength. You could tear it if you snagged it on something, but you'd have to tug pretty hard. <br /><br />Snagging it on something though . . . I could certainly see me doing that. :) but I'm not too worried; wool yarn is tough stuff.Jessica Snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185831697537364088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-58907360783980774492011-12-26T15:54:16.702-08:002011-12-26T15:54:16.702-08:00That is gorgeous, but it looks so fragile!
