Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 859 Walkthrough
Unstitch the fedora-wearing villain portrait: hat, red hair, orange face, striped sweater and bladed glove, using linked bobbin pairs and chains.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A grinning villain in a brown fedora, red-and-green striped sweater and red glove with gray blades, plus a white patch at the lower-left sleeve cuff; cyan question-mark stitches in the hat band, eyes and teeth. Five supply columns, two rows visible: dark green 10, orange 30, brown 10, dark red 20, dark brown 20 over white 10, gray 10, black 20, green 20, red 20.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the brown hat and black brim, the red hair, the orange face with its eyes and teeth, the white sleeve cuff, the red-and-green sweater, and the red glove with gray blades, ending on one dark-red stitch.
- Opening Moves
- Dark-brown 20 from column five into the hat, then the linked dark-red 20 / red 20 pair with brown 10 from column three, then green 20 with the next brown-and-red pair.
- Danger Zone
- The track fills up three times: when green 20 joins the first red pairs, when the second orange/black pair runs with green and brown, and when the orange-black-orange chain launches. Wait for a piece to run out each time.
- Unique Mechanics
- Linked bobbins travel together: dark red with red, orange with black, and later three-bobbin chains such as orange-black-orange. A pair parks in storage together even when one half is at 0. Cyan question-mark stitches only show their real color (white in the eyes) once exposed.
Storage: the five slots where returning bobbins park until their color is reachable again. Linked: bobbins joined by a bar leave together and take one track place each.
Quick Tips for Level 859
- Open with the dark-brown 20 in column five; the hat crown is the first region that pulls cleanly.
- Treat a linked pair as one send: if one half is at 0, re-send the pair so the other half can finish.
- White has two jobs: the white cuff at the lower left and the eyes, where the cyan question-mark stitches turn white only after the surrounding red and orange are pulled.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 859 — Full Solution
- The board is a grinning villain in a brown fedora with a black brim, red hair, an orange face, a red-and-green striped sweater and a red glove with gray blades, with a solid white patch at the lower-left sleeve cuff. Cyan question-mark stitches sit in the hat band, the eyes and the teeth. Five supply columns show two rows, and colored bars link dark red 20 to red 20 and orange 30 to black 20.
- Send the dark-brown 20 from the top of the fifth column into the hat crown. It works around the loop and runs out on the track.
- Send the linked dark-red 20 and red 20 together, plus brown 10 from the third column. The pair works the hair and the red sweater stripes. When one half reaches 0 the pair parks in storage with its partner still counting, so re-send it instead of leaving it there.
- Send green 20 into the green sweater stripes alongside the next brown-and-red linked pair. The track fills up here; wait for green or one of the pairs to run out before adding anything.
- Re-send the parked brown 3 / red 11 pair and let green finish. Once the track is empty again, the hair edge and the top of the sweater are visibly thinner.
- Send the linked orange 30 and black 20 into the face and the hat brim, then white 10 into the white cuff at the lower left and the eye stitches that turn white as they are uncovered. Park the white 5 remainder in storage.
- Send the next orange 30 / black 20 pair together with green 20 and brown 10 as they surface. This is the second full-track stretch; the orange face shrinks from the right.
- Work the dark-green and brown bobbins and the green/brown linked pairs through the lower sweater and hat, then return the parked white 5 to the remaining eye stitches.
- Send the three-bobbin chain orange 30, black 20 and orange 30 into the rest of the face and brim; the track sits full until the chain thins. Hold gray 10 for the gray glove blades until they face the track.
- Clear the hair, glove and lower sweater with the dark-red, red, brown and green chains, including the green, brown and dark-red trio, and re-send white 3 for the last pale stitches.
- Finish with the red and orange chains, including a red 20 linked to orange 10s, on the mouth bar and the last brim crumbs; the track fills up once more. A few dark-red 10s can stay unused in supply.
- A lone dark-red stitch remains where the hair was. Let the dark red with 1 left reach it to empty the board.
Colors in this level:
Dark brown, Brown, Black, Dark red, Red, Orange, Green, Dark green, White, Gray
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Adding another chain while the track is full during the orange-black-orange stretch.
- Leaving a parked pair such as brown 3 / red 11 in storage when its colors still have stitches on the board.
- Spending gray before the glove blades are reachable instead of waiting until the face has been opened.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first move in Level 859?
Send the dark-brown 20 at the top of the fifth column into the hat crown, then the linked dark-red 20 and red 20 pair.
Why do two bobbins leave the supply at once?
A colored bar links them, so they enter the track and return to storage as a pair, even when one of them has already reached 0.
What are the cyan question-mark stitches in Level 859?
They sit in the hat band, the eyes and the teeth and only show their real color once exposed; in the eyes they turn white after the red and orange around them are pulled. Keep the white 5 remainder in storage and send it back to those eye stitches when they open.
