Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 874 Walkthrough
Clear a head-on yellow car under a blue sky with green leaves: a white roof, an orange roof sign whose number counts its stitches, silver metal studs around the body, and a red bumper.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- The car fills a square board ringed by blue sky and green leaves, with metal studs outlining the body and making grille rows. Track and storage start empty. Four supply columns: gray 20 over dark green 20, dark green 20 over yellow 30, bright green 30 over red 10, and white 40 over black 10 with blue 50 beneath.
- Goal / Target Area
- Strip the sky and leaves first, then the white roof, yellow hood, metal studs and bumper. The orange sign counter must reach zero, and the last stitches sit in the center of the car.
- Opening Moves
- Send white 40 from column 4, which brings black 10 to the top with blue 50 under it. Send black 10 and blue 50, then bright green 30 from column 3. White and black return to storage at first because little white or black is exposed yet.
- Danger Zone
- Mid-level, white, black, gray and yellow bobbins all lap together and the track repeatedly fills up, while a metal 8 waits in storage for more grille studs to open.
- Unique Mechanics
- Metal studs: silver studs outline the car and form grille rows, and the marbled metal bobbins are the ones that remove them. The orange roof sign carries a number that counts down its remaining stitches as orange bobbins pass, from 60 to zero.
Storage: the five slots where returning bobbins park until their color is reachable again.
Quick Tips for Level 874
- Clear sky and leaves early with blue, cyan and the greens; most car colors stay unreachable until the sky around them is gone.
- Hold metal bobbins until studs are exposed. A metal bobbin sent too early just laps and comes back to storage.
- Watch the sign counter: each orange 20 lowers it, and the last orange 20 surfaces near the end of the supply.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 874 — Full Solution
- Start in column 4: send white 40. That brings black 10 to the top of the column with blue 50 under it. Send black 10, then blue 50 right away so it starts eating the blue sky from the right edge of the board.
- Send bright green 30 from column 3 for the bright green leaves along the top of the sky. White 40 barely drains because little white roof is exposed yet, so expect it and black 10 to drop into storage.
- Send the dark green 20s from columns 1 and 2 to clear the dark green tree pixels on the left and top. Small blue and green leftovers can come back to storage; re-send them as soon as more sky opens.
- Send cyan 10 for the pale blue specks scattered through the sky, then send the second blue 50 when it rises. Keep re-sending white from storage each time new white roof pixels are exposed above the hood.
- Once the sky around the car thins out, send the marbled metal bobbins (a metal 30 and metal 10s). Use them on the silver metal studs that outline the body and form the grille rows on the hood and bumper.
- Send yellow 30s as soon as the yellow hood edge is exposed on the right side; they peel the hood inward in long passes.
- Send orange 20s at the roof sign. Its number counts the remaining orange stitches and drops from 60 toward 20 as each orange bobbin passes. Send the copper 20s for the copper strip, and red 10s for the red bumper.
- This is the tight stretch: white, black, gray and yellow are all lapping and the track fills up. Let a bobbin empty or return before sending another, and leave the metal 8 parked in storage until more studs on the grille are exposed.
- When the supply is down to brown 20, metal 10, white 40, white 20, yellow 30 and the last orange 20, send brown for the bottom strip, white for the roof and yellow for the remaining hood bars.
- Send the last orange 20 to take the sign counter from 20 down to zero, then let yellow and white finish the stubs under it.
- The final white 1 removes the last stitch in the center of the board.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Cyan, Green, Dark green, White, Black, Gray, Metal, Yellow, Orange, Copper, Red, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Expecting white 40 to drain early. Hardly any white is exposed at the start, so it keeps coming back to storage.
- Sending a fifth bobbin while white, black, gray and yellow are already lapping, which fills the track.
- Spending metal bobbins before the grille studs are reachable, which leaves a metal remainder parked in storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 60 on the orange sign mean in Level 874?
It counts the sign's remaining orange stitches. Each orange 20 lowers it, and the final orange 20 takes it to zero.
How do I remove the silver studs in Level 874?
Send the marbled metal bobbins. They are the ones that take the studs around the body and grille, so hold them until studs face the track.
Why does my white bobbin keep returning to storage?
The white roof is mostly covered by sky and studs early on. Re-send white after those are cleared.
