I’d like to see a video of the full process.

The reason is that the scarves in the online shop look very tight and possibly created by something else. There is nothing that would prevent the seller from doing this legitimately if that is the case, because Wind Knitting Factory may just be the brand.

I’d like to think the scarves in their online shop are fully knitted by the wind, though.

I assume there’s gearing to improve consistency.

There’s definitively post processing though as it’s knitting a tube. “Occasionally the knitwear gets ‘harvested’ and transformed into scarves.”
