Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 867 Walkthrough
Clear a red ladybug on a green leaf: unpick the leaf border and outline, the orange flower and the pink corner block, then the shell, spots and gray head.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A red ladybug with black spots and a gray head on a green and dark-green leaf, an orange flower at upper left, and a pink block marked 20 at top right. Three supply columns with some bar-linked pairs; five empty storage slots.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the mottled green and dark-green leaf with its black outline, the orange flower with its red ring and khaki center, the pink 20 corner block, and the ladybug's red shell, black spots and gray head.
- Opening Moves
- Black 20, brown 10, then the black 10 linked to green 50, followed by dark green 10 and orange 20/10 for the flower petals; khaki 10 and orange 20 go to storage.
- Danger Zone
- While red 20s, black 30 and the green 40/50s work the ladybug and leaf together, the track is full. Short reds and blacks wait in storage until their pixels reach the outside.
- Unique Mechanics
- A pink block marked 20 counts down as pink bobbins pull it (20 to 10) and then disappears. Some bobbins are joined by bars and enter the track as a pair.
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 867
- Send pink 40 straight at the pink 20 block; it is the only pink target.
- Park khaki 10 for the flower's center until the petals around it are gone.
- Save gray 10 for the ladybug's head, which opens only after the leaf and shell around it.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 867 — Full Solution
- The board is a red ladybug with black spots and a gray head sitting on a mottled green and dark-green leaf. An orange flower with a red ring and a khaki center overlaps the leaf's upper left, and a small pink block marked 20 sits in the top-right corner. The supply has three columns, and some bobbins are joined by bars into linked pairs.
- Send black 20 from the third column along the leaf's black outline, then brown 10 from the second column; brown finds nothing yet and parks in storage with all 10 left. Next, send the black 10 that is linked to green 50; the two enter together as a pair and green starts on the outer leaf.
- Send dark green 10 into the darker leaf patches, then orange 20 and the orange 10s into the flower petals. The track is down to one free place here, so park khaki 10 and orange 20 in storage until the flower's center and petals are fully on the outside.
- Keep cycling green and dark green around the leaf edge. Each lap trims the mottled border, and black follows the outline behind it. Short green and dark-green leftovers (8, 6) can wait in storage until more leaf is exposed.
- Once pink bobbins appear, send pink 40 at the pink block in the corner. Its counter drops from 20 to 10 and the block disappears. That pink is not used anywhere else, so do not hold it back.
- Return the stored orange and khaki bobbins to finish the flower: orange for the petals, red 10 for the red ring and khaki 10 for the center. With the flower gone, only the leaf and the ladybug are left.
- Now work the ladybug. Send the red 20s into its red shell and the black 10s and 30s into the spots and the outline between the shell halves, and keep green 40s and 50s pulling the leaf around it. The track is often full here, so wait for a piece to run out before sending the next.
- Send gray 10 into the ladybug's gray head once the leaf and red beside it have opened. A spent red 0 linked to black 9 can sit in storage for a while; it leaves once that black finds outline stitches.
- The leaf thins to a diagonal rib of green and dark-green pixels with red and black scraps from the ladybug. Send green 50 and the linked green pairs along it, plus red 20 and black 20 for the scraps.
- Bring back the stored red 1 last, together with the final green and black pieces, until the last rib pixels clear.
Colors in this level:
Green, Dark green, Black, Red, Orange, Khaki, Brown, Pink, Gray
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending red 20s at the shell while the leaf border still covers it.
- Sending a black + green linked pair while the track has only one free place.
- Forgetting the red 1 left in storage, which is needed for the final rib pixels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I send first in Level 867?
Black 20, then brown 10, then the black 10 linked to green 50. Dark green 10 and the orange bobbins follow for the leaf and the flower.
What is the pink 20 box in the corner?
It is a small pink block with a counter. Pink 40 pulls it down from 20 to 10, and it disappears once it is fully pulled.
When should I use gray 10 on the ladybug in Level 867?
Hold it until the leaf and the red shell beside the gray head have opened. Until then gray 10 has nothing it can reach, just as red 20s should wait while the leaf border still sits in front of the shell.
