I'll add another comment to Tamara's and Jacquie's.  Wool, even ring-
shawl weight, is usually a whole lot fuzzier than threads normally used 
for bobbin, needle, or shuttle laces.  This will greatly affect your 
ability to move the threads past each other.  It is that much harder to 
accurately tension, never mind trying to undo a mistake.  I've seen 
shawl patterns using fingering-weight or sport-weight wool yarn, but 
don't recommend trying to do BL with superfine wool thread.
