Cleaning wool on suction table

I am thinking of cleaning a late 17th century book cover (woven
wool) on a suction table.  The obvious problem is the possibility of
it shrinking a little, which would require me to stretch it back out
afterwards so that it still fits the book; this would be a little
tricky as it is quite aged.  Also it has a true 'moire' imprint on
the recto side.  I have done some testing with drops of dionised
water (photos before and after, direct and with a binocular
microscope), and the 'moire' doesn't seem to have changed at all.
Does anyone have any experience, tips, and/or cautions to share?
