Everyone can enjoy the World's Largest Ball of Twine. Visitors stop at the Ball of Twine and are noticed by twine ball caretaker, Linda Clover. Clover is in charge of all the duties dealing with the World's Largest Ball of Twine. She opens up the trunk to her vehicle to see if the individuals want to be apart of history and add to the collection of twine.

World's Largest Ball of Twine

Next stop, is Cawker City, Kansas. Come visit the World's Largest Ball of Twine, one of the eight wonders of Kansas. If you mention the Ball of Twine, you may get a chuckle, but this is the real deal. 

Frank Stoeber started the World's Largest Ball of Twine in 1953. In just  four years the giant ball of twine weighed 5,000 pounds and stood 8 feet high. Stoeber gave the ball of twine to Cawker City, Kansas in 1961.

Many of the businesses on Cawker City's short main street have paintings containing the giant ball of twine in their windows. A twine stripe painted on the sidewalks leads from the World's Largest Ball of Twine to the pictures.

The twine ball weighs around 17,886 pounds and has a circumference of at least 40 feet. The Ball of Twine still continues to grow. 

The residents of the community and visitors add each August a twine-a-thon is held and additional twine. Do not miss your chance to be part of one of the World's Largest Things. The event includes a horseshoe pitching contest, car show, food, and adding twine to the world's largest ball.
