Killed acrylic yarn

I frogged a beautiful sweater knitted using Nako vega tweed yarn which is acrylic. The only reason i frogged was to reknit same pattern using bigger needle size. After frogging i steamed the yarn using steamer on high resulted in stretched out yarn. Now my yarn is thin! Dont know what to do, i am more worried if i knit the sweater will it strech out as there is no elasticity left! Has anyone had similar issue before!

Switching needle size between lace pattern and stockinet ?

Can i knit my lace pattern with 3.75mm and remaining stockinet of tee with 4mm needle? Pattern calls for 4mm full sweater but i am getting perfect holes for lace with 3.75mm.

Yarn and needles!

Looking at the photo of finished product, do you thing i used a half mm bigger needle then what yarn label suggested. I got my gauge with 4mm which i used here and i like the feel of the drape its giving but confused if its airy or stiches are loose?
