Scout and Jem believed the ball of gray twine was meant for them because it was found in the knot-hole of a tree near their house where they had previously been leaving and finding treasures. They interpreted the gift as a gesture from Boo Radley, who they believed was trying to communicate with them.
Jem didn't want to take the ball of twine into the Radley yard because he didn't want to make Boo Radley feel like they were taunting him or invading his privacy further. Jem was also afraid of getting in trouble with their father, Atticus, if he found out they were trespassing on the Radley property.

If the twine is made from a natural fiber, like hemp, sisal or even cotton, then it is biodegradable.
Some twine is made of plastic. This is not biodegradable.
You have to get Sisal, which you can find on Volcano Island and in some areas of Airplane Island, and then go to your workbench and craft it.
Twine is two or more strands or string, typically yarn, twisted together to compose a stronger strand of material.
Normally, when you pull on a single string, the force is put entirely on that one string. If you have two separate strings, you're faced with the same problem. By twisting the two pieces of string together, the force extracted when pulled together is divided between the two pieces, and because they're no longer perfectly straight pieces of material, it is more difficult to break or rip.

For many years, the world's largest twine ball has resided in Darwin, MN. It weighs 17,400 pounds, is twelve feet in diameter, and was the creation of Francis A. Johnson. He started wrapping it in March of 1950 -- four hours a day, every day. Francis lifted it with a crane to continue proper wrapping. For 39 years, this magnificent sphere evolved at Johnson's farm, and eventually moved to a circular open air shed on his front lawn.

The most common natural fibers (or crops) that twine is made from would include cotton, hemp, jute, and sisal. Other fibrous plants and crops can also be used (like the coir from coconuts), and twine can even be spun and made from synthetic fibers (like nylon).
