Thank you folks,
Having sent the email, got one reply back suggesting I might put more
threads in. I did put an extra one in on the outside edge but not the
inside which would have benefitted from an extra one as well I do feel that
the whole thing will be too spidery thin for the best look. I started to
think what other thread might work and got Brendas book out. I hadn't
really got an idea of what thread would fit the bill, but took a sensible
look through and actually did look at the 27, 28 wpc threads realising I do
have a couple of threads which fit the bill.
So thank you, as ever for the help and I am really rather pleased with
myself for thinking that through and coming up with the same sort of
numbers. What a long way I have come with Brenda's book and with lace via
Arachne.

Hello Sue and everyone
You've enlarged the pattern 119% so I'm thinking the thread size should be
increased by that. Brok 36/2 and E.C. 36/2 are 32 and 31 wraps
respectively. Doing the arithmetic, dividing the 32 by 1.19 I get 27-28
wraps for the slightly thicker thread. Now to find an accessible thread.
Madeira Cotona 30 is 29 wraps in Brenda's T4Lace, could do quite well.
If you have that book, check out the 27- and 28-wrap columns.
My go-to would be the Sulky 30 wt. in the 27 wraps section.
Does this help?

I am working one of Christine springetts circular pieces in a bangle and
carried on using the 36/2 she mentioned only using egyptian cotton which I
like. But, to get it to sit in my bangle I increased the size of the
pattern
to 119% and carried on with it anyway.
