Waiting for a bus or winding down before bed, you can play a few rounds of Yarn Loop with a single finger. It is a puzzle game where colored bobbins collect stitches from knitted patterns. Google Play lists it at 4.5 stars from about 30.4 thousand ratings, with over 1 million installs.
Combo Game and the yarn puzzle project
Yarn Loop comes from the developer Combo Game, which runs a site at combo-games.net. The package ID is com.combo.yarnflow, and the game first appeared on December 18, 2025.
The most recent update is version 1.59.0 from November 5, 2026. Google Play rates the game Everyone and tags it as a puzzle title.
Bobbins, capacity and the rack
Bobbins ride a conveyor and pick up stitches that match their own color. Each one has a capacity number that drops with every stitch collected. At zero the bobbin vanishes.
If capacity is left over, the bobbin goes to a rack and waits for later use. That rack is the core of the planning: you finish each knitted pattern by choosing the right bobbins in the right order. Play is driven by one tap, and the game describes hundreds of levels with new layouts and color combinations as you progress. The look is soft and warm, with a cozy yarn theme.
Google Play shows 8 screenshots of the pattern boards and bobbins.
Android 8.1 and what the game costs
The game needs Android 8.1 or newer, so most phones from the last several years can run it. It is free to install, but it contains ads and in-app purchases.
You find it on Google Play, where updates arrive through the normal store process.
