  5. What % shrinkage would you plan when weaving Lace

Well, some of it depends on how much plain weave you have in the piece.  If you have wider borders and a couple of vertical stripes within the pattern then your shrinkage would be what the normal shrinkage for that yarn would be plus a few more percents, if you don’t have much plain weave in it you are looking at at least 15%……but to be absolutely sure….sample!
