Placing Your Yarn BarnWhen you open your Farm, you’ll see a popup asking you to place the Yarn Barn. Clicking “Place Now” will put you into Placement Mode:
If you don’t want to place the Yarn Barn at this time, you can switch tools and go find the Yarn Barn in your Gift Box later on.
You can also find the Yarn Barn in the Market. Purchase it for 1 Coin! You can also access the Yarn Barn by clicking on it in your Neighbor Bar:
How the Yarn Barn Works
The Yarn Barn, like the Dairy, is totally self-contained. You don’t need to grow, ask for, or place any additional items to get started.
When you open the Yarn Barn, you’ll see the Order Board, Raw Materials Stations, and Crafting Stations.
Order Board: The Order Board houses Yarn Barn orders from the town. Click on a face to see that person's order:
Fill that order by crafting items in the Yarn Barn to earn prizes. Every order that you fill earns you coins, items for your Farm or to expand your Yarn Barn, and Yarn Points, which help you to level up your Yarn Barn to unlock new machines and recipes.
Raw Materials: There are five Raw Materials stations, which you unlock as you level up. Each one harvests for different ingredients that you can use in the Yarn Barn Recipes you can make with the Crafting Machines. The first station, the Sheep, is already unlocked when you place the Yarn Barn.
Each Station is harvestable for 1 type of Raw Ingredient:
You can tell when Raw Ingredients are ready by looking for the pink marker hovering over a station, indicating that it’s ready. You can see how long you have until a station is ready to harvest by hovering your mouse over it:
Each station harvests in 5 minutes or less. Once you harvest a station, the Raw Ingredients you get will go straight into your Yarn Barn's Fleece Closet.
Crafting Machines: There are five Crafting Machines, which you unlock gradually as you level up. The first machine, the Carder, is already unlocked once you place the Yarn Barn.
Each machine can make an assortment of different recipes:
The Goods that you make in the Crafting Machines will be stored in your Yarn Barn's Craft Closet. Each recipe takes between 2 minutes and 24 hours to complete, depending on the recipe.
The Fleece and Craft Closets
Your Yarn Barn has a Fleece Closet and a Craft Closet for storage already attached to it. These two storage facilities each hold up to 10 Goods or Raw Ingredients at first. You can expand them to hold 10 more items with each expansion.
Expanding the Fleece Closet
Each time you expand your Fleece Closet you will need the following parts:
Expanding the Craft Closet
Each time you expand your Craft Closet, you will need to following parts:
As you expand your Fleece and Craft Closets, your Yarn Barn will grow more and more visually impressive:
Earning Prizes in the Yarn Barn
To earn prizes in the Yarn Barn, you must fill all the orders on the Order Board. Click on a face to see that person's order:
You’ll get rewards for each order you complete, as well as a special, bigger prize for completing all orders on the Order Board. Orders can be Raw Ingredients, crafted Yarn Barn Goods, or both. As you level up your Yarn Barn, the orders will get larger and more complex.
Once you’ve completed all the orders on the Order Board, you’ll see a popup with what you’ve won:
You can also see the prizes you’ll earn for completing all Order Board orders in the bottom left-hand corner of the window:
We hope you enjoy the Yarn Barn! Happy Crafting!
