Hi Tamara
I think you've explained it better than I did - so long as it's a
linear enlargement and not an area one.

According to Brenda Paternoster's "Threads for Lace" (a must-have book
for anyone making lace and liking to fiddle around with thread
replacements):
Egyptian Cotton 140/2 = 62 (wraps per centimetre)
Egyptian Cotton 70/2 = 46 (wraps per cm)
62:46= 134.78
So, I'd copy the pricking at 135% for the thread you want to use.
Unless Brenda chimes in and tells me I'm all wet; math (and
mathematical thinking) is not my strong point :)
