Yarn It is a vibrant pixel-art puzzle game where your goal is to clear a board made of colored yarn. You win the level by using matching Yarn Balls to blast away every pixel until the board is empty and the image is complete!

Learn the Threads: The Basics of Yarn It

The game is all about keeping your Yarn Balls moving and managing your space. Here is the simple loop:

• Pick your Yarn Balls: At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see Queues (vertical columns) filled with colored Yarn Balls. Tap a Yarn Balls to pick it up.
• Load the Conveyor: Place your chosen Yarn Ball onto the moving Conveyor track. You have 5 Pillows (slots) on the track, meaning you can have up to 5 Yarn Balls riding at once.
• Automatic Firing: Once on the track, your Yarn Balls do the work! They automatically fire at yarn on the board that match their color.
• Ammo & The Holder: Each Yarn Ball has a limited amount of ammo. Once it clears its target yarn and runs out of ammo, it disappears. However, if a Yarn Ball completes a full trip around the track and still has ammo left, it drops into the Holder at the bottom.

Managing the Holder

The Holder is your storage space, but it’s limited! This is the most important part of your strategy:

• Watch the Space: If the Holder fills up and another Yarn Ball drops into it, you’ll lose the level.
• Stay Strategic: Check the board before you pick a Yarn Ball. If there aren't many yarn of that color left, that Yarn Ball might not use all its ammo and will end up taking up a precious spot in your Holder.

Power Up Your Game

Need a little extra help clearing a tough board? You can use Pre-boosters (chosen before you start a level) and Boosters (used during the level) to tip the scales in your favor:

• Expand your Conveyor: Use the Extra Pillow to add more track slots and keep more active Yarn Balls moving at once.
• Blast tough colors: Try the Joker, Bomb, or Propellor to clear large groups of yarn instantly.
• Manage a full Holder: Use the Merger to combine matching Yarn Balls, or open up an Extra Slot for more storage room.
• Reach deeper Queues: Use the Claw to grab a Yarn Ball from behind the front row.

Now fluff those pillows, line up your colors, and stitch your way to fun!
