Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 862 Walkthrough
Unstitch the sprouting seed inside the red-bordered pink arch, the yellow sun in the corner and the two dark-green bars on the left, using linked bobbin pairs.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A brown seed with a green sprout in a pink arch with a thick red border, a yellow sun top-left, and two dark-green bars with purple caps on the left. Four supply columns: yellow 20 linked to brown 10 and orange 10 linked to dark green 10 on top; lime 20, two crates marked 4 and dark green 20 below.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the yellow-and-orange sun, the green sprout and leaves, the brown seed with its tan highlight, the large pink arch, its red border, and the two dark-green bars with purple caps on the left.
- Opening Moves
- The linked orange 10 / dark green 10 pair, then the linked yellow 20 / brown 10 pair, then lime 20 into the leaves, dark brown 10 into the stem and the first pink 50 into the arch. The dark green 20s wait.
- Danger Zone
- Once the big pinks are running alongside the yellow/brown pair and dark brown, the track sits full for long stretches. Re-send only parked pairs until a slot opens.
- Unique Mechanics
- Linked pairs (yellow-brown, orange-dark green, pink-yellow, red-dark brown) travel and park together. Two blue-gray crates in the supply count down and open into bobbins. The dark-green bars on the left have purple caps that pop when the bar is pulled away.
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 862
- Open with both linked pairs on the top row; they cover the sun, stem and dark leaves at once.
- The two dark-green bars on the left are worn down by dark green bobbins in the middle of the level; you do not need to rush them early.
- Pink is the bulk of the board. The first pink 50 comes up from the supply early, and the crates open later into more pink, including a pink 50 linked to yellow 10.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 862 — Full Solution
- The board is a brown seed with a green sprout standing inside a pink arch with a thick red border, with a yellow sun (orange center) in the top-left corner. Two vertical dark-green bars with small purple caps run down the left side. Supply has four columns: yellow 20 linked to brown 10, and orange 10 linked to dark green 10, on top; lime 20, two blue-gray crates marked 4 and dark green 20 below.
- Send the linked orange 10 / dark green 10 pair first: orange works the sun's orange center and dark green the darker leaf pieces. Then send the linked yellow 20 / brown 10 pair: yellow works the sun and brown the stem.
- After the two pairs, send lime 20 into the bright leaves and dark brown 10 into the dark stem pieces between them. Keep both dark green 20s in the supply for now.
- Send the first pink 50, which comes up in the column under the dark brown 10, into the pink arch while the crates are still counting down. When the yellow half reaches 0, the yellow/brown pair parks in storage with brown 10 still counting; re-send it once more brown stem faces the track.
- Cycle the orange/green pair and the yellow/brown pair while red 10 starts on the red border. The track fills up here; wait for one pair to run out before sending again.
- Once both crates open, more pink comes up (pink 50 linked to yellow 10, then pink 40) along with red 20s. Send the pinks into the arch; as the pink thins, small cyan squares marked ? show up inside it.
- This is the busiest stretch: a big pink, the yellow/brown pair and dark brown run together and the track sits full. Only re-send parked pairs from storage once a slot opens.
- Now send the dark green 20s you held back into the two dark-green bars on the left. The bars wear down through the middle of the level, and each purple cap pops when its bar empties. Send lime and dark green 10s into the remaining leaves.
- Clear the red border down the left side with red 20 and the linked red/dark-brown pairs, while pink 50 and the lime/pink pairs work through the rest of the arch.
- Send the tan 10s into the light-brown highlight on the seed and the dark brown 10s into its shadow. The sun is gone by now and only the seed and a few leaf bits remain.
- The last piece is the light-tan highlight stripe on the seed. Let the linked tan and dark-brown pair finish it.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Orange, Brown, Dark brown, Tan, Lime, Dark green, Pink, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the yellow/brown pair in storage when brown stem stitches are still on the board.
- Launching another pink while the track is full in the busy middle stretch.
- Ignoring the red border down the left side until the end, so red bobbins pile up with nothing else reachable.
- Rushing the dark green 20s at the left bars in the opening; they are worn down later, after the crates open.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I send first in Level 862?
Send the linked orange 10 and dark green 10 on the top row first, then the linked yellow 20 and brown 10 next to them.
What are the green bars with purple ends on the left?
They are dark-green stitches. Dark-green bobbins pull them down, and the purple cap on each bar pops once that bar is gone.
Are the numbered gray boxes bobbins with 4 left?
No. They are crates that count down while you play and then open into regular bobbins, including a pink 50 linked to yellow 10.
