The Wind Knitting Factory is a temporary factory – a mechanical wind-knitting machine – that illustrates a sustainable production process and demonstrates in a direct way that you can produce a viable product using only urban wind power.

From June 26 to July 5 2009, the Wind Knitting Machine was installed on the façade of the Royal College of Art, powered by a windmill with a diameter of 1.2 metres. Along the façade the knitwear moved slowly through the window into the College, fast at high wind speeds, and slow when there was not a lot of wind. The knitted material was harvested at intervals and rounded off in individually labelled scarves. The labels describe how much time the two-meter scarves took to make, and on which day they were produced.
