Josephus, who would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, describes the curtain and its images and colours in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), saying that it was made of flax. Based on his description, the curtain was not particularly thick. Interestingly, Josephus makes no mention of any damage to it, or any repairs.
