Do the big balls of yarn have any advantages over small ones?

I noticed that sometimes I get small balls of yarn that I can shoot and sometimes I get big ones, and there is a badge that allows me to just get big ones.

Is there a functional difference between the big balls and the small ones? Or is it just cosmetic?

Solution 1:

Bigger yarn balls can apply yarn to more objects before they expire. A small yarn ball will vanish when it hits an enemy or wireframe, while a bigger one will bounce off enemies and travel through wireframes, affecting everything it hits until it shrinks to small size and makes one more shot. This means you can also tongue a big yarn ball after it hits something and keep the rest for later.
