Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 891 Walkthrough
Clear the grumpy cat portrait, with its white-and-black eyes, white muzzle, orange chest, peach body and brown ears and tail, from its red backdrop. Use the two gold keys on the board to open the padlocked bobbins, and clear the two gray 30 panels with gray bobbins.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A grumpy cat with white eyes, black pupils and heavy brown brows, a white muzzle, an orange chest, a peach body, and brown ears and tail sits on a red backdrop. Two gray panels marked 30 sit on the left side of the backdrop, and two gold keys sit between the ears. Four supply columns start with red 50, crimson 10, light brown 20 and peach 20 in front, and a padlocked bobbin, beige 30, brown 40 and peach 20 behind.
- Goal / Target Area
- Strip the red backdrop around the ears to collect both keys and open the two padlocked bobbins. Clear the two gray panels with gray bobbins, then the eyes, muzzle, chest stripes and body, and finish the leftover red strips on the left side.
- Opening Moves
- Send red 50 first to open the backdrop, then crimson 10 and beige 30, then the black 50 that comes forward. Light brown 20 and the peach 20s follow on the ear tufts and body edges. Clearing the red cells under the first key opens the column 1 padlock and gives white 20 for the eye whites and muzzle.
- Danger Zone
- The track fills up early, once red, crimson, beige and black are all out, and again when white, red 50 and black run together. Beige 19/17 remainders sit in storage for a long stretch. Wait for a return before sending the next column.
- Unique Mechanics
- Two gold keys are knitted into the backdrop. Clearing the knit around each key unlocks one padlocked supply bobbin (white 20 in column 1, red 50 in column 2). Two gray 30 panels on the left are cleared by gray bobbins: each gray that passes lowers the panel number, upper panel first.
Storage: the five slots where returning bobbins park until their color is reachable again.
Quick Tips for Level 891
- The two gold keys between the ears are the real gate. Each one is freed by clearing the red backdrop under it, and each opens one padlocked supply bobbin.
- Use white on the eye whites and muzzle, and black on the pupils and outline. Gray 20 belongs to the two numbered gray panels on the left.
- The two gray 30 panels on the left are cleared by gray bobbins: each gray that passes lowers the panel number. Send gray 20s to clear the upper panel first, then the lower one.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 891 — Full Solution
- The board shows a grumpy cat with white eyes and black pupils under heavy brown brows, a white muzzle, an orange chest, a peach body, and brown ears and tail, set against a red backdrop. Two gray panels marked 30 sit on the left of the backdrop, and two gold keys sit between the ears. The supply has four columns: red 50, crimson 10, light brown 20 and peach 20 in front; a padlocked bobbin, beige 30, brown 40 and peach 20 behind. The duck badges on some bobbins are event markers, not a mechanic.
- Send red 50 first to open the backdrop, then crimson 10 and beige 30, then the black 50 that comes forward. Light brown 20 and the peach 20s follow on the ear tufts and body edges. The track fills up soon after, so let bobbins finish a lap before adding more.
- Keep red cycling on the backdrop around the ears and the top edge. Once the red cells under the first key are gone, that key is collected and the padlock in column 1 opens, giving white 20.
- Send white 20 on the eye whites and the muzzle. Send brown 40 on the fur stripes and ears. The beige remainder (19, later 17) waits in storage for a long stretch, which is fine.
- Send black 30 on the pupils and the dark outline. Expect the track to sit full while white, red and black all circle. Wait for a return before you send the next column.
- Keep red 50 cycling to open the backdrop on the right side of the head. That frees the second key, and the second padlock (column 2) opens to give another red 50.
- With both locks gone, the unlocked red 50, orange 10s and black 50 come forward. Send the orange 10s on the orange chest stripes and black 50 on the lower outline. The cat's right half is now mostly bare.
- Send the gray 20s on the two gray 30 panels. Each gray that passes lowers the panel number by the stitches it takes, so the upper panel goes first and the lower one needs more gray later. Keep clearing the red backdrop strips beside them with the red remainders.
- Late in the level the supply shows orange 10, gray 20, peach 40 and red 50. Send gray on what is left of the lower panel, peach 40 on the remaining body cells and red 50 on the last backdrop strip down the left side.
- Return the small brown, peach, red and black remainders until the last ear and chest flecks disappear.
Colors in this level:
Red, Dark red, Tan, Peach, Beige, Brown, White, Black, Gray, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the gray bobbins idle. The numbered gray panels only shrink when gray bobbins pass them, so keep sending gray once they reach the front.
- Ignoring the keys. Without the backdrop cleared around them, the padlocked white 20 and red 50 never come forward.
- Stopping when the face is gone. The last red backdrop strip on the left and a few ear and chest flecks remain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I open the padlocked bobbins on Level 891?
Two gold keys are knitted into the red backdrop between the ears. Send red on the backdrop there; when the cells around a key are gone, the key is collected and one padlock in the supply opens.
What are the gray panels marked 30?
They are counter panels on the left side of the backdrop, and gray bobbins clear them. Each gray that passes lowers the panel number; the upper one goes first, and the lower one takes more gray later in the level.
Why does the track keep filling up in Yarn Loop Level 891?
The track fills up early once red, crimson, beige and black are all out, and again when white, red 50 and black circle together. Wait for one bobbin to finish its lap before sending the next column; the beige remainder can sit in storage for a long stretch without hurting you.
