Yarn Loop Level 936 Walkthrough
A green frog playing a banjo on a brown log, worked with three-bobbin linked chains from a three-column supply; the framed banjo head opens only once the colored wrap around its frame is stripped.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A green frog sits on a brown log and plays a banjo against a striped cyan and blue background with navy patches along the bottom. The frog has white eyes with black pupils, a red and pink mouth and a khaki collar; the banjo neck runs up to the left in black and gray. The banjo head is a framed panel: white and green stitches inside a light blue frame, which is wrapped by a thread of white, gray and dark green segments, with gray stitches along its left side. Supply has only three columns. The top row is one linked chain of maroon 20, black 50 and blue 20; the second row shows cyan 50, dark green 50 and navy 30. Storage has five empty slots and the track is empty.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the cyan and blue background and the navy patches, the brown log, the frog's green body, eyes, mouth and collar and the banjo neck, then strip the white, gray and dark green wrap around the banjo frame and the gray stitches beside it so the framed banjo head opens and its white and green stitches can be cleared.
- Opening Moves
- Send the linked chain of maroon 20, black 50 and blue 20 first; it takes three track places and comes back as maroon 18, black 39 and blue 0, parking in three storage slots. Send navy 30 from column three for the navy patches, then the peach 10 under it, the dark green 50 from column two and the cyan 50 linked to blue 40 from columns one and two.
- Danger Zone
- When the black 50 and white 20 pair returns beside the parked lime, gray and blue chain (lime 0, gray 9, blue 16), all five slots are full. Count the slots, not the red outline; take nothing from supply and re-send the black and white pair first.
- Unique Mechanics
- Linked chains here can join three bobbins (maroon 20, black 50 and blue 20; lime 40, gray 10 and blue 30; cyan 50, lime 50 and pink 10) as well as pairs (cyan 50 with blue 40 more than once, black 50 with white 20, lime 50 with navy 30, brown 20 with blue 10, white 30 with brown 40). A chain takes one track place per bobbin, parks together and keeps returning while any member still has stitches, even with others at 0. The banjo head is a framed panel wrapped by a thread of white, gray and dark green segments; white, gray and dark green bobbins pull the segments of their own color, and the light blue frame disappears only when the whole wrap and the gray stitches beside the panel are gone, after which the white and green stitches inside become available.
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 936
- Send the opening maroon 20, black 50 and blue 20 chain while the track is empty; it needs three places at once and parks in three storage slots.
- The later chains arrive along the top row: lime 40, gray 10 and blue 30 first, cyan 50, lime 50 and pink 10 much later. Clear the opening maroon, black and blue chain out of storage before the next one reaches the front.
- The banjo head stays closed until the wrap around its frame is gone, so save white, gray and dark green bobbins for the wrap before planning the green inside the panel.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 936 — Full Solution
- Send the whole top-row chain of maroon 20, black 50 and blue 20 first, while the track is empty; it needs three places. Blue 20 empties on the background, and the chain returns as maroon 18, black 39 and blue 0 and parks in three storage slots.
- Send navy 30 from column three for the navy patches along the bottom; it nearly empties in one lap. Then send the peach 10 under it; it comes back almost untouched and can wait in storage while you work elsewhere.
- Send the dark green 50 from column two for the frog's dark outlines and the cyan 50 linked to the blue 40 for the cyan and blue background stripes. A second cyan 50 and blue 40 pair from columns two and three follows; keep re-sending both until the first runs out.
- Re-send the maroon, black and blue chain whenever three places are free. It comes back as maroon 8 and black 16, then smaller, and still needs several laps: black runs out while maroon holds one last stitch, and only then does the chain clear and free all three storage slots.
- Work the log and the background with the brown 30 and brown 50, the blue 20s and the navy 20 that surface. Keep at least three track places in mind for the next chain rather than filling the track with singles.
- The lime 40, gray 10 and blue 30 chain reaches the top row. Send it; lime empties on the frog, but the gray banjo neck is still covered, so the chain parks with lime at 0 and most of the gray and blue left, and holds three slots for a long stretch.
- Send the black 50 linked to the white 20 for the black neck pixels and white eyes. If it returns while the lime, gray and blue chain is parked, storage is full; take nothing from supply and re-send the black and white pair first. It parks again as black 0 and white 3, which fills all five slots once more, so keep re-sending it until it clears.
- Send the olive 10s for the khaki collar and the dark green 50s for the body, then re-send the lime, gray and blue chain once the banjo neck shows gray. Gray comes off slowly; blue runs out first, and the chain clears once gray empties.
- Send the cyan 50, lime 50 and pink 10 chain from the top row; the lime 50 linked to the navy 30 goes out just before it. Pink works the mouth slowly while cyan and lime work the background and the frog, so keep re-sending the chain until it returns with pink 0. Use the red 10s and maroon 20 that surface for the rest of the mouth.
- Send the brown 20 linked to the blue 10 for the log and the last blue stripes, then the black 50, gray 20 and olive 20 that follow. When the brown and blue leftover and the cyan, lime and pink chain park together, all five slots are full; re-send one of them before taking new supply.
- Send the white 30 linked to the brown 40. Brown clears the log while white strips the white wraps along the top and bottom right of the frame; after a second lap the pair parks as brown 0 and white 19. Leave it parked. Send the lime 40 for the frog's last green body stitches and the dark green 50 for the dark green wraps on the bottom edge.
- Send the last white 30 for the left-edge wraps; if it comes back unchanged, park it and re-send it once the bottom wraps clear. The cycling gray bobbin takes the gray stitches beside the panel, and when the white 30 pulls the last left-edge wrap the light blue frame vanishes. Re-send the parked white and brown pair; the lime and dark green leftovers take the panel's last green stitch.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending new singles while the lime, gray and blue chain is parked, then having the black 50 and white 20 pair come back into a storage that already holds three pieces.
- Re-sending the parked lime, gray and blue chain before the gray banjo neck is exposed; it spends three track places and returns almost unchanged.
- Waiting for the white 30 and brown 40 pair to open the banjo frame. It parks as white 19 with the left-edge wraps still in place; the frame opens only after gray takes the gray stitches beside the panel and the last white 30 strips the left white wraps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the three-bobbin linked chains work in Yarn Loop Level 936?
Each chain, such as maroon 20 with black 50 and blue 20, boards together and takes one track place per bobbin. It returns and parks as one unit until every member is empty, so it needs three free places to send and three slots to park.
Why can't I pull the white and green stitches on the banjo in Level 936?
The banjo head is a framed panel wrapped in white, gray and dark green thread. Clear the white, gray and dark green wraps around the frame and the gray stitches next to it; the light blue frame then disappears and the inside can be cleared. The white 30 linked to a brown 40 can stay parked as white 19 until then.
Why does the gray 10 in the lime, gray and blue chain never go down in Level 936?
The gray banjo neck is covered until the frog's body and collar thin out. Leave the chain parked and re-send it once gray pixels show on the neck.
