The Rumor is True. Mystic Knotwork is going to the Olde Mistick Village

By June 1st, Mystic Knotwork will be in both Downtown Mystic and the Olde Mistick Village. Our Holmes St. shop at the lighthouse is moving to the village!

Mystic is known for four VERY different but complementary destinations. 

The Downtown Mystic area, around the Drawbridge was my favorite place to go growing up.  You could find me visiting the Arcade, Bee Bee Dairy, and Cottrell Lumber yard at least once a month.  At the same time, my grandfather's house, where Mystic Knotwork was first conceived, was halfway between there and the Olde Mistick Village.  I spent too much time in the bookstore there as well as the General Store, and Imagine Gifts.

Over the last 50 years, both spaces have grown and adapted.  The downtown Mystic area is turning into a foodie paradise with a parking problem, while the Olde Mistick Village has become a union of an eclectic food scene interspersed with an immersive space of calm interactions and the most unique shops in the state.  Where else can you feed the ducks while waiting for a brick oven pizza, then browsing shops like Cloak & Wand, Arisu an anime shop, and Crest & Compass a heraldry shop.

We couldn't imagine the Olde Mistick Village without our unique experience.  As anyone who's visited our Downtown shops know, we are here to make your custom designed sailor bracelet, anchor bracelet, adjustable, or other designs while you watch.  

Our new shop in the Olde Mistick Village has so much parking, so easy to walk to our front door directly, or be part of your stroll exploring approximately 39 shops in the village. The following photos show the renovation progress.

In the new shop you'll find our coasters, trivets, and doormats along side our impossibly huge variety of bracelets.  The tie dye ones are the most popular because they are so unique we don't sell them on our website.

We are thinking of expanding our lines to include other locally made nautical work, the shop is HUGE compared to the one on Holmes Street.  If you have suggestions, please let us know by email.

The energy of our team is at an all time high as we anticipate the fun of joining the Olde Mistick Village community and serving our friends and customers there with the same attentions that make our team the envy of the other shops in town.  It also means we need to learn the Olde Mistick Village as intimately as we know downtown so we can serve as a gateway to the rest of the treasurers in our new neighborhood.

When people ask why, my fun response is, "originally, Jill asked me to build a shop closer to her parent's house, so we opened 600 feet closer.  She asked us to move up closer still, so now we are two miles closer, with only 40 miles to go."
