Wind powered knitted scarves

The next eco-fashion must have!

The brainchild of product designer Merel Karhof, the Wind Knitting Factory is an ingenious contraption that attaches to the outside of a building.

With the power of the wind, a knitting machine knits from the outside towards the inside of a building. The knitted material is harvested from time to time and rounded-off in individually packaged scarves. Each scarf has its own label which tells you in how much time it has been knitted and on which date.

While there doesn’t appear to be anywhere you can score one of these scarves just yet, we´re confident that some hot eco-chic label will decide to make use of the Wind Knitting Factory in no time!
