A '''yarn ball'''<ref>''"Make a yarn ball anytime! Or make a HUGE yarn ball by wrapping up an enemy."'' <small>--pause flavor text for [[Knitting Needles]] from ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''</small></ref> (also referred to as a '''ball of yarn'''<ref>Name taken from ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' Instruction Booklet (North American Print), page 12</ref>) is an object that can be created by rolling up an enemy or object using the [[Yarn Whip]] in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''. After obtaining a yarn ball, [[Kirby]] or [[Prince Fluff]] can then toss it in any given direction to attack other enemies or break blocks, including cloth blocks and enemies that cannot be affected directly by the Yarn Whip. They can also be placed down on the ground and picked up again later. Using yarn balls is the primary means of attacking [[boss]]es in the game.

In ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn'', yarn balls can be created using the [[Knitting Needles]] [[Ravel Ability]]. When wrapping up an enemy on top of using this ability, extra large yarn balls are created which can pass through enemies when thrown.

==Types of yarn balls==
There are several different types of yarn balls, which are made from certain types of enemies. These are as follows (note that names are conjectural):
*'''Regular:''' a standard circular yarn ball that can be tossed to defeat enemies, similar to a [[Star Bullet]].
*'''Arrow:''' a triangular projectile that passes through enemies it hits into.
*'''Homing:''' a winged yarn ball that chases after enemies it is thrown toward. Some of these can split into three projectiles when thrown.
*'''Bomb:''' a yarn ball with a fuse that can be tossed forward in an arc. It does not explode on impact, instead exploding when its fuse burns through. This type can only be created by wrapping up [[Bomber]].
*'''Wheel:''' resembles a regular yarn ball until thrown, where it rolls across the ground until hitting its target. If thrown upward, it will travel forward in an arc then fall to the ground. This type can only be created by wrapping up [[Shelby]].
*'''Light:''' a yarn ball that dispels darkness around it. This type can only be created by wrapping up [[Stogue]].
*'''Giant:''' a yarn ball made by transforming an enemy into a yarn ball while also using the [[Knitting Needles]] ability, resulting in a larger projectiles that can pass through enemies.
