Adelaide Hills Yarn Co. is proud of our local area & its rich history. The historic & iconic Onkaparinga Woollen Mill is a huge part of that history, which sadly closed its doors in 1993.

Hi,
I was a close friend of Stan Skrzypczak who passed away on August 5 2020 this year. I understand Stan played a significant role in adapting the technology at the mill which lead to the Onkaparinga patent. Happy to discuss.
