Yarn Out is a relaxing and satisfying puzzle game featuring colorful yarn bobbins and knitted patterns. Bobbins move onto the slot and collect stitches of their own color. Each bobbin has a capacity value that decreases as stitches are picked up. When its capacity reaches zero, the bobbin disappears. Solve each pattern by choosing the right order and managing your limited space. Simple to play, yet surprisingly strategic.
