I absolutely love Louet's Euroflax, but for a shawl, it would probably be kinda pricey :(
I've done amazing lace with Blue Heron's mercerized cotton. It blocks really well, comes in eighty gajillion colors, and you can usually get a shawl out of a single skein! (It comes in 1000-yard skeins.) I wouldn't call it cheap, but it's generally retailed from between $37-$42 for that 1000 yards, and I really enjoy working with it.
