The Unlucky Yarn is a pet-summoning item that spawns a Black Cat to follow the player around. When the player is far enough away or in midair, it will fly on a broom to catch up with them. The Unlucky Yarn has a 1/150 (0.67%) chance of being obtained from Goodie Bags during the Halloween seasonal event.

Trivia

  • The Unlucky Yarn can be seen as a Halloween counterpart to the Dog Whistle, a pet-summoning item that drops from Presents during Christmas and summons a pet puppy.
  • Black cats are often a stereotypical familiar for witches, hence the cat wearing a witch's hat, and the flying animation depicting a witch's broom.
  • The "Unlucky" in the item's name references a common superstition that black cats are associated with bringing bad luck.
  • The hat itself appears to be the Wizard Hat dropped by Tim.
