Yarnblooms

Yarnblooms is a crafting minigame in Pixadom.
There are no prerequisites to starting the minigame, as it's naturally part of the Pixadom world.
As described by Spire, yarnblooms are "magical flowers that sprout plush, colorful yarn bulbs". There are a dozen yarnbloom plants at preset outdoor locations that all players can see. When a yarnbloom has reached it's blooming stage, players can approach it and interact with the plant, immediately harvesting it.
Once harvested, the player collects the yarnbloom bulb which is stored in your inventory as a Consumable item. These bulbs can then be used to exchange for items at Marigold's Shop, as a means to purchase her extensive range of knitted clothing items.
==Yarnbloom Cycle==
Yarnbloom plants have 5 stages of growth and can only be harvested in full bloom.
All yarnbloom plants follow the same life cycle, where they gradually progress through 5 stages of growth. The timeframe between each state varies based on users online, at base-level each stage occurs at 5 minute intervals, meaning their total lifecycle occurs in a timespan of 25 minutes. If there are more than 10 players online the timeframe is reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes; if more than 20 online it's reduced to 2 minutes per state. The stages are as follows: seed, sapling, budding, pre-bloom, full bloom.
===Minigame Tip ===
From as early as the budding stage, the player is able to decipher the colour of the yarnbloom bulb that will bloom. This gives them ample time to know which plants to wait near, and be ready to harvest when they're ready.

==Trivia== 
* During development, Yarndelions was one of the names being considered for yarnblooms.
*Yarnblooms were released during the Marigold's Arrival event. During the event, their life cycle was shortened down to 1 minute per growth stage to allow for the influx of players on the server to be able to enjoy the new items and interactions. It was then permanently fixed to 5 minutes after the event finished.
== Patch Notes ==
* 01 June 2024: Yarnbloom minigame released.
