A '''ball of yarn'''<ref>Name taken from ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' Instruction Booklet (North American Print), page 12</ref> (also referred to as a '''yarn ball'''<ref>''"Make a yarn ball anytime! Or make a HUGE yarn ball by wrapping up an enemy."'' <small>--pause flav{{o}}r text for [[Knitting Needles]] from ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''</small></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 ball of yarn, [[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 balls of yarn is the primary means of attacking [[boss]]es in the game.

In ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn'', balls of yarn 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.
