Yarn Spool Dash
Swipe to route colored yarn spools onto a conveyor so each grabs only its matching stitches.
Colorful yarn stitches scroll down a belt; drag spools from a rack onto the belt position so they intersect the belt only long enough to grab their color, then return to the rack before they fill up and break.
Drag-and-drop spools from a bottom rack onto belt slots; one-thumb swipes between rack and belt.
Cozy yarn-shop aesthetic, soft pastels, knit patterns in the background.
