Yarn Yoshi Takes Shape! is the first level of Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. Similar to the first levels of previous Yoshi games, it introduces throwing yarn balls, which replace the Yoshi Eggs from previous Yoshi games.

Layout[edit]

The first level of Yoshi's Woolly World is a grassy plain with flowers and spherical hills. It has a blue sky with clouds, and introduces Egg Blocks, Shy Guys, Piranha Plants, and of course Smiley Flowers and the new Wonder Wools.

The first part of the level is a straight walk with bridges and crystals with a single Shy Guy. It also features crystals along with the first Beads. After the beads and the first Smiley Flower, there is a Message Block that tells Yoshi how to defeat enemies. Further on, there is a platform with a Present Box and the first instance of a bow. The bow is followed by three Warp Pipes with a Piranha Plant. It is possible to go down the first Warp Pipe. After the Warp Pipes, there is another Message Block with instructions on how to Flutter Jump and a Shy Guy. Shortly after, there is a third Message Block with instructions on how to throw Yarn Balls. There is also a Winged Cloud for practice. There is then a cave with Frame Platforms and a Flipper. After the checkpoint, there is another Egg Block with a Warp Pipe that can be entered. The level then leads onto a gorge with many large flowers and clouds. After the gorge, there is a platform with crystals and the Goal Ring.
