Located around a bend in
the Minnesota River,
the
St. Peter Woolen Mill resides in the
heart of the quaint town of St. Peter,
Minnesota. The St. Peter Woolen Mill
was established in 1867 to Custom
Process Wool for sheep ranchers in LeSueur and Nicollet Counties.
A Family Tradition and Dedication to
Quality began when John Charles Brinker
and wife Margaret
purchased the woolen mill from Edward
Borneman in 1912.
The Brinker family has been the
foundation of the St. Peter Woolen Mill
ever since. After John
Charles Brinker passed away in 1931, his son Charles Henry and
wife Evelyn inherited the St. Peter
Woolen Mill.
Throughout this Brinker generation, the
woolen mill was temporarily expanded to
include a hatchery. After Charles Henry
became ill, Evelyn continued to operate
the woolen mill until 1954 when her son,
Charles Eugene Brinker, who had grown up
in the
business, and wife Mary Lue purchased it.
The family business continued to expand
year after year.
Tragedy
hit the St. Peter Woolen Mill in 1998
when a tornado all but destroyed the
business. Following completion of the
reconstruction process in 1999, the
fourth Brinker generation, Patricia
Johnson and Peggy Grey, assumed
responsibility of the business.
Today, the St. Peter Woolen Mill is one
of only Five Mills in the United States
which does Custom Wool Processing and
will return a Customer's Own Wool as a
Finished or Semi-Finished Wool Bedding
Product. Think about refurbishing an
Heirloom Quilt or freshen up your
well-used comforter. The St. Peter
Woolen Mill's wool products reflect the
Family Emphasis of the business.
Wool-Filled Comforters and Wool Mattress
Pads are Heirlooms, passed from one
generation to the next.
A result of the St. Peter Woolen Mill's Dedication to Quality is
the Nature's Comfort line. The Nature's
Comfort line includes a Wool-Filled
Comforter, Wool Pillow and a
Wool Mattress Pad. Make an investment
in your comfort. Design your bedroom in
Luxury and discover the Magic of Wool
for the rest of your life.
