Our Workshop In Olde Mistick Village
We moved our Holmes St. shop to the Village in June. It is so nice to have the extra room for our products and more tying areas. When you visit you will always experience our artisans tying something, bowls, bracelets, snowmen, wreaths, trivets, Santas and sometimes even gnomes. In both our shops in Mystic you can request custom bracelets tied in your choice of colors.
Yes, knot tyers have to have a sense of humor.
Tying the flat for the white cotton bowl.
Shaping the flat over the bowl form.
Once it is tightened up the ends are handsewn together.
The lobster rope mats are the only items we don't tie and are purchased in Maine from friends of Matt and Jill. We love them so much and had to carry them in both the shops.
Children love the tree ornaments. Santas, snowmen, angels, and reindeer to name a few.
Watching a custom bracelet being tied. Choose your colors, it won't take long.
Fitting the bracelet.
Children love the cotton baskets especially for egg hunts around Easter.
We tie custom anchor, whale tail and fish hook paracord bracelets too. So many colors and patterns to choose from.
If you are visiting from out of town, we can ship your large purchases. Or if you can't, visit our website and order online. MysticKnotwork.com

Cottrell St. Shop
The Cottrell St. workshop is in Downtown Mystic overlooking the river and the Mystic River Park. The 200+ year old building makes this old sail loft a historic experience. Wide pine floors and lots of rope everywhere. You'll find on many occasions at least 3 knot tyers at work tying home decor items and bracelets. Can't find your color? As in our other shop, the artisans will help you select your color, figure your size and make your bracelet while you watch.
Making the bowls is quite an art. We have manila bowls and cotton bowls.
The manila room is the hot spot. Door mats, door stops and wreaths are made here.
Finishing bottle stoppers.
Tying the ends on the popular small cotton trivet.
Even the news reporter chose a custom bracelet.
Special projects don't upset us.
The monkey fist dog toy in small and large for that nautical dog.

Testing the fit.
We ship our online orders through the Cottrell St. shop Mon. - Fri. Certain times of year are super busy!
