Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 930 Walkthrough
A patchwork quilt: a red splash over gray-and-black checker tiles, a cyan zipper band, a yellow heart panel, a red and beige checkerboard and a pink dotted strip, with two crates marked 4 and several linked chains crowding the storage.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A patchwork quilt fills the frame: a red splash with gray-and-black checker tiles and olive centers, a cyan band with a zigzag zipper and purple pull at the top-left, a salmon and white patch at the top-right, a pink strip with olive dots on the right, a yellow panel with red hearts at the lower-left and a red and beige checkerboard at the lower-right. Five supply columns show blue 20, red 50, white 20, gray 40 and salmon 20 on top, with two crates marked 4 in columns two and four; storage and track start empty.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the red splash and black outlines across the center, every gray checker tile, the cyan zipper band, the salmon and white corner, the pink strip, the yellow heart panel and the red and beige checkerboard.
- Opening Moves
- White 20 (column three) and salmon 20 (column five) start on the top-right patch, then gray 40 from column four and the beige 20 its crate pushes forward. Olive 20 and dark red 20 follow from column three, then red 50 from column two, the blue 20 from column one, and the cyan 20 column two's crate pushes forward. Column four's yellow 10, cyan 10 and black 20 go next, before the blue 20 and green 10 pair.
- Danger Zone
- Storage fills completely three times; the first comes mid-level, when the pink 0 and white 3 pair sits beside the black 16, cyan 9 and olive 3 chain. Take nothing new from supply then; re-send the chain first, since its cyan finishes the zipper band and frees three slots.
- Unique Mechanics
- Two crates marked 4 push a new bobbin to the front each time their column's front bobbin is sent and break at zero, leaving a black 20 and a yellow 20. Many bobbins are linked in pairs and chains of three that board and park together. The cyan zipper band at the top shortens as cyan is pulled and vanishes with the last cyan pass. Small teal '?' stitches show up inside some gray tiles and lower panels as the quilt thins, and the purple zipper pull carries the same mark.
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 930
- The crates marked 4 push a new bobbin to the front each time the bobbin in front of one is sent, and the number drops; at zero the crate breaks and leaves its last bobbin. Column four's crate feeds beige 20, yellow 10, cyan 10 and finally a black 20; column two's feeds cyan 20, gray 20, black 20 and finally a yellow 20.
- Gray is the color most likely to park: column four's gray 40 comes back with most of its count, and a gray leftover sits in storage for a long stretch before column two's crate gives up its gray 20, because most gray tiles stay covered by red and black until the center opens.
- Count the link bars before sending from the middle columns. Gray 30, salmon 20 and black 50 travel as a linked chain of three, and so do black 50, cyan 20 and olive 10, and later red 40, gray 40 and black 50; a chain of three takes three storage slots when it returns.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 930 — Full Solution
- Send white 20 from column three and salmon 20 from column five first; both work the white and salmon patch in the top-right corner. White comes back to storage with stitches left more than once, so re-send it as the corner opens.
- Send gray 40 from column four for the gray checker tiles. Column four's crate pushes a beige 20 to the front and drops to 3; send that beige 20 for the beige squares of the lower-right checkerboard and the crate drops to 2. Gray and beige both come back with most of their count; park them and re-send them once the track has two free places.
- Send olive 20 and then dark red 20 from column three for the olive tile centers and the dark red checkers. Column three then shows a salmon 20 joined by link bars to neighbors in columns two and four, so leave it until those partners reach the front.
- Send red 50 from column two onto the red splash; column two's crate pushes a cyan 20 forward and drops to 3. Next send the blue 20 from column one for the dark blue edge of the top band, then the cyan 20 onto the cyan band at the top-left; the crate drops to 2. Red 50 keeps returning smaller, so re-send it whenever a place opens.
- Send the yellow 10 and then the cyan 10 that column four's crate pushes forward. After the cyan 10 leaves, the crate breaks and leaves a black 20 at the front with the blue 20 and green 10 pair behind it. Send that black 20 for the black outlines first, then the pair together: blue takes the dark blue edge and green takes the green strip on the left.
- A gray leftover is parked in storage and stays there a long time. Send the gray 20 and then the black 20 that column two's crate pushes forward; the crate then breaks and leaves a yellow 20 for the yellow heart panel. Do not re-send the parked gray until red and black have uncovered more gray tiles in the center.
- Send the black 50 from column one together with its linked pink 20 from column two. Black works the outlines between tiles and pink takes the pink dotted strip on the right edge.
- Send the linked chain of gray 30, salmon 20 and black 50 across columns two to four. It comes back with small gray and salmon counts; re-send it with the parked gray leftover as soon as the gray tiles in the middle are exposed.
- Send the white 10 and pink 20 pair first, then the olive 20 and blue 10 pair; the white and pink pair later parks with pink at 0. Next the black 50, cyan 20 and olive 10 chain goes out and comes back beside the pink and white pair, and storage fills completely. Take nothing new from supply; re-send the chain first, since its cyan finishes the zipper band.
- Work the lower half with the dark red 20s, beige 20s and the yellow bobbin linked to an olive 10. That pair keeps parking with yellow at 0 and a little olive left; re-send it whenever olive pixels are exposed. A separate yellow and gray pair also sits in storage for a while with yellow at 0.
- Late in the level the red 40, gray 40 and black 50 chain returns with red at 0 and fills storage alongside the parked yellow and olive pair. Keep re-sending the chain; it fills storage once more, then clears, and the dark red and black pair finishes the black outlines.
- Supply ends with a yellow 30 in column one and a red 40 in column four. Send yellow 30 for the last yellow hearts while the parked units keep cycling, re-send the yellow and olive pair once more, and finish with red 40 on the remaining red splash pixels; it takes the final red stitches.
Colors in this level:
Red, Black, Gray, White, Salmon, Cyan, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Olive, Green, Dark red, Beige
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending a three-bobbin chain while one of its colors has nothing exposed. The black 50, cyan 20 and olive 10 chain and the red 40, gray 40 and black 50 chain each come back holding three storage slots.
- Re-sending the parked gray leftover from storage early. Most gray tiles sit under the red splash and black outlines, so it just comes back and keeps the slot blocked.
- Forgetting what the crates will push forward. Every send from a crate column brings a new bobbin to the front, so emptying column four quickly floods the track with beige, yellow, cyan and black before their areas are ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the crates marked 4 work in Yarn Loop Level 930?
Each time the bobbin in front of one is sent, the crate pushes another bobbin forward and its number drops by one; at zero it breaks and leaves its last bobbin. Column four's crate ends with a black 20 and column two's with a yellow 20.
Why is my storage full of linked bobbins in Level 930?
Several bobbins are joined in pairs or chains of three. The pink and white pair beside the black, cyan and olive chain can fill all five slots at once. Stop taking new supply and re-send the chain whose colors are still visible on the quilt.
What removes the cyan zipper strip at the top of Level 930?
It is cyan knit with a purple pull at its left end. It shortens as the cyan bobbins work the top band and is gone soon after the black, cyan and olive chain makes its second pass.
