Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 947 Walkthrough
A butterfly in green, dark purple, magenta, brown, dusty red and yellow, edged with metal studs and framed by six knitted bars marked 20. Matching colors bring the bars down, two striped metal 30s take the studs and a steady stream of hidden '?' bobbins feeds the rest.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A butterfly fills the board: green upper wings and green inner panels on the lower wings, dark purple and magenta bands across the middle, brown and dusty red patches toward the wing edges, a yellow lower right wing, and a yellow body with yellow antennae. Metal studs line the outer wing edges and the antenna tips. Three knitted bars marked 20 sit above it (yellow, dark purple, green) and three below (green, dark purple, yellow). Three supply columns show green 30, brown 20 and yellow 10 on top, with a striped metal 30, a '?' and dark purple 20 beneath; storage and the track are empty.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the six bars, the metal studs, the green panels, the yellow lower wing and body, and the dusty red and brown edges; the magenta, dark purple and green patches on the left wings go last.
- Opening Moves
- Green 30 from column one, yellow 10 from column three, brown 20 from column two, then the striped metal 30 that surfaces in column one. Green and yellow start on the bottom bars, the metal 30 empties on the studs in its first lap, and the brown 20 comes back full.
- Danger Zone
- Mid-level storage peaks at three pieces, dusty red 11, magenta 1 and dusty red 4, with one free place on the track; it never turns red. Re-send the small leftovers first and leave the dusty red 11 for later.
- Unique Mechanics
- Six knitted bars marked 20 frame the butterfly, three above and three below. Each counter drops only while a bobbin of its own color passes, and the bar disappears at 0. Black '?' bobbins in all three columns show their color at the front. The metal studs need the two striped metal 30s.
Storage: the five slots where returning bobbins park until their color is reachable again.
Quick Tips for Level 947
- The six bars marked 20 count down only for their own color. Green 30s and the yellow 10 bring the green and yellow bars down early, while the dark purple 20s work the two dark purple bars.
- Column one's striped metal 30 surfaces right behind the opening green 30, so send it at once. It empties on the studs in a single lap, and a second striped metal 30 in column three finishes the studs left on the other wings.
- Column one's '?' bobbins are mostly green 30s: five of its six hidden pieces turn green and one is a brown 10, so fresh green thread keeps arriving for the green bars and wing panels.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 947 — Full Solution
- Send column one's green 30, column three's yellow 10 and column two's brown 20. Green pulls the bottom green bar from 20 down to 11, and the yellow 10 empties on the bottom yellow bar. Column two's '?' turns out to be a magenta 20.
- Send the striped metal 30 that surfaces in column one. It takes many of the studs on the right-hand wings and empties on its first lap. The '?' behind it is another green 30; send it for the green wing panels and bars.
- The brown 20 comes back full at first; re-send it whenever a place opens. Column one then offers a dusty red 10 and a third green 30 from a '?'. Send both; by now both green bars are gone.
- Send column three's dark purple 20, which pulls both dark purple bars down, the bottom one to 11. Column three's '?' then shows a yellow 20 over a dusty red 20; send the yellow 20 and it clears the bottom yellow bar.
- Send column three's dusty red 20 for the dusty red patches on the right-hand wings, then column two's magenta 20 for the magenta bands. Column three's '?' now shows a magenta 20 with a second striped metal 30 beneath it.
- Send that magenta 20, the metal 30 and column two's dusty red 20. A magenta leftover parks for a long stretch; leave it. The metal 30 works the studs on the left wings and comes back nearly empty more than once; re-send it each time.
- Send column three's yellow 20 and dark purple 20, then column two's dark purple 20 and yellow 20, for the yellow lower wing and the dark purple bands. Re-send the parked magenta when a place opens; the bottom dark purple bar and the top yellow bar clear in this stretch.
- Send column one's dark purple 10; its '?' reveals a green 30 over a second dark purple 10, and the top dark purple bar, the last bar to go, soon disappears. Then send column three's yellow 20 and column two's brown 20 before that green 30, re-sending small leftovers before new supply.
- Re-send the dusty red that has waited in storage, then send column one's second dark purple 10 and the green 30 its '?' reveals, then the two short bobbins after them; column one is left with one last green 30.
- Let column one's last green 30 wait at the front. Send column three's green 30, the dark purple 20 its '?' reveals and the yellow 10 behind it, which empties column three.
- Column two now alternates magenta 10s and brown 20s, each brown 20 coming from a '?', and ends with a dark purple 20 over a yellow 20. Send them in order for the magenta, brown and dark purple patches on the left wings.
- A magenta leftover and a brown 1 park briefly; re-send them straight away. Then send column one's last green 30, the final send. It clears the remaining green on the left wing while the magenta and dark purple bobbins already on the track take the last stitches.
Colors in this level:
Green, Dark purple, Magenta, Brown, Dusty red, Yellow, Silver
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending plain colors at the metal studs; only the two striped metal 30s remove them, and the second one needs re-sends after it parks nearly empty more than once.
- Pulling new supply while the small magenta and dusty red leftovers sit in storage beside the dusty red 11; re-send those leftovers first so storage never climbs past three pieces.
- Expecting the dark purple bars to clear in one pass; the top dark purple bar drops in stages and is the last of the six bars to disappear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the bars marked 20 above and below the butterfly do in Yarn Loop Level 947?
They are knitted bars with counters. Each one drops only while a bobbin of the same color passes and disappears at 0. Green 30s clear the green bars first, the yellow 10 and yellow 20s the yellow bars, and dark purple 20s the dark purple bars.
How do I remove the metal studs on the butterfly's wings in Level 947?
Send the striped metal 30s. Column one's surfaces right after the opening green 30 and empties on its first lap; column three's comes later under a magenta 20 and parks nearly empty more than once before the last studs go.
What is under the question mark bobbins in Level 947?
They show their color at the front. Column one's are mostly green 30s plus a brown 10, column two's start with a magenta 20 and later give brown 20s and a dark purple 20, and column three's include yellow 20s, a magenta 20, a dark purple 20 and a yellow 10.
