The Interconnect 1 bus runs between Grantham and
Lincoln - it's really good and runs every half hour.
Or have you asked in Westgate Crafts (Wools?) in
Grantham to see if there's a group round there?

I've often used this table when trying to sub yarn
weights:

The Cascade 220 that Nic mentions is really nice -
I've made a hat with some and it's lovely and soft and
comes in an amazing range of colours!
