Mystic Knotworks absolutely made my husband's childhood dream come true! Ever since he was a kid, he wanted a braided bracelet--but there was always one problem: none of them would ever fit over his giant hands! We stopped into Mystic Knotworks, and even though it was closing time, they took the time to custom make one specifically for him. Not only did they make his dream bracelet fit perfectly, but they did it with humor, smiles, and the kind of kindness that you just don't forget. They could have easily sent us on our way since they were closing, but instead they made the experience so much fun and truly special. My husband finally has the braided bracelet he has wanted since childhood, and we cannot thank them enough. Incredible customer service, wonderful people, and beautiful craftsmanship. We highly recommend Mystic Knotworks! read more

This is a second location of Mystic Knotwork. This brand is family owned and founded in 1957. We walked by it and I had to stop in. I love the sailor bracelets and think it's a beautiful classic accessory. This store is in a cute building that has a small lighthouse design on the exterior. There were an array of items to choose from. Whether you're buying items to decorate your home or accessories to wear. There are classic bracelet styles to ones with a hook or anchor. For home, there are coasters, wreaths, and more. There are keychains, pet toys, etc. We enjoyed shopping around the store. We bought two bracelets and an anklet. There was a person making these items in store. It's well crafted and lovely; there were many colors to choose from too. If you're in Mystic, it's worth a stop to get a souvenir there! read more

Really, a knot store? Them my wife in excitement exclaims "Yes!!" Apparently this is something that has been going on for years where you get a knot bracelet or anklet and wear it throughout the entire summer. At the end of summer you cut it off leaving only the tan line behind as a memory of another summer past. This store has every color and size you can imagine and if they don't have it, they'll simply make it for you right then and there. The staff is amazing. The owner made my NY Mets bracelet and let me know that this store is generational and not a chain. Bracelets & Anklets vary in price from $7-12.50 as the get more intricate. They also have a ton of other knot work products like dog toys, table stuff, etc. Overall, this place is a must see if in Mystic. read more

Mystic Knotworks is an adorable little store that sells knots, yes the ones you tie! They sell everything from doormats, to keychains, to cat and dog toys, baskets, and so many bracelets. Everything is made by tying a differnt type of knot, using different types of rope or cord. And of course everything is made by hand! You might even find the store associates working on a craft while you're in the store. The bracelets are their best sellers. They come in a huge assortment of colors, from very thin to very wide, to everything in between. If for some reason you don't find your favorite color, or combo of colors in your preferred width, they can make it for you, while you're in the store. Everything is very appropriately priced. The bracelets average at around $8 and the doormats at around $50. It is a lot of fun to walk through and see everything that can be made by hand. They even have a book that was written by the store owner, Matt Beaudoin that's a guide on knot tying. When in Mystic, please stop by Mystic Knotwork, you'll be impressed by the variety of knotted items. read more

Cute store, sweet people, and well made products! Any knotty handicrafts, you can find in this space. Looks like they are mainly focused on doormats, dog leashes, bracelets, and coasters. I did buy one of the candles, which unfortunately didn't smell like anything, but that's not one of the things they make, so just skip those and stick to the rope work. I appreciate that you can feel the local Mystic sailor vibes in their store. read more

When in Mystic you must make a visit to the Knotworks. I remember wearing my knot bracelet as a kid we didn't have all the color choices they have now. The great thing about this shop is the friendly staff. If you don't see what you're looking for they can help you find it or they will make it for you. You pick the style and color. My little ones picked out already made options and I had a custom whale tail bracelet made. It didn't take her more than 10 minutes. They also make keychains, door mats, front door knot wreaths and baskets. They also can make Knotworks boutonniere's for your groomsmen if you're planning on getting married. This is a summer must in my opinion. It was when I was a kid and I plan on continuing the tradition with my girls. read more

I love this place. We stopped in while walking around Mystic and I was wowed by all the products. They have really pretty accessories and I ended up picking up several keychains - one for my keys, one for my AirPod case, an ornament for our tree. I really wanted a very specific bracelet but the S was too tight and the M was too large. They made one for me in under 30 minutes. Amazing service and super nice and friendly staff. We visited both locations - the bigger one off the main street had the sweetest store doggo. The doggo was legit the highlight of X's trip, because we were able to pet the dog. read more

Hand-made items are unique especially when you see them being crafted before your eyes. A nice little shop with a parking lot. The folks are very friendly and the quality of the products is excellent. They also have an online store with the service of: "if you don't see it ask us we may have it". Put this shop on your list as a must see destination when in the Mystic area. read more

Great little store with a variety of gifts and trinkets. Jewelry, coasters, decorations, and fun little gifts for even your pet. Worth a stop. Prices run from reasonable to the expensive depending on what you are looking for. read more

Awesome store to pick up some neat accessories or grab a gift for someone. We stopped in and picked up a few bracelets from them, one of which they made in the colors I requested while we waited. The guy really took his time and had me try it on a few times while asking questions to make sure it was a good fit. The staff were all really friendly and helpful, and when we asked they even recommended us to the best place we ate at on our trip, so thanks! read more

VERY friendly people who shared history of the area with us and made a bracelet in the colors we wanted. So many handmade momentos to choose from made in this lovely old building. Support this small business that is a true part of the fabric of this community. read more

Perhaps one the must unusual stores on the East Coast, this store certainly desires a look. The premise is simple: take high-quality rope and tie/weave functional items/works of art. They've got it all, and in this knot crazy store, you can find such items as intricate floor mats, bottle stoppers, dog toys, picture frames, bracelets, and baskets. Of course, I have only scratched the surface of the items the offer, and the craftsmanship in each item is truly something at which to marvel. The only issue here is that some of the items at a bit pricy, for instance, a $200 price tag on a door mat was a bit high for my taste. However, they do sell cool bracelets for just $5 (bought one for my nephew) and a set rope coasters was very reasonably priced. Other than that, this is a fantastic store and a must see while in Mystic. read more

Incredible handmade rope artwork and wearable items. We drove over 3 hours to get new knot bracelets.

Definitely worth a visit. Very cool to see all they make. I was told the door mat is the only item they do not make there -- it comes from Maine. It is super durable and gorgeous. read more

This place is incredible! Stop in even if you don't think there's anything you will want to purchase. They've made things by hand for like 100 years and are there working on crafts right in the shop from open to close. If there's something you see that you want in a different color, they will make it on the spot! They do have expensive (but worth it) home items, but also really affordable bracelets, keychains, ornaments, and other small accessories. Don't take the neighbor who's getting your mail while you're on vacation a gross box of fudge, get them something cool from this shop! Would also recommend for small secret Santa type gifts or a tie-on for a housewarming gift or bottle of wine. Not everything is super nautical themed; there's something for almost every aesthetic. read more

Cool spot to visit when visiting Mystic Seaport. We bought some bracelets and earrings. Creative designs and excellent craftsmanship. We even ended up with a book on how to make all kinds of interesting things with ropes and knots! Great customer service by a young man working named Eli I believe. We shall return next time we are in the area for sure. read more

This place is so wonderful. They have everything from keychains to wreaths. You can get bracelets or even earrings. My family decided to get a rope wreath, and we are glad we did! It looks lovely on our front door. We got a white wreath and it has not gotten dirty in the 5 months we have had it. There are also 2 locations in case one is too full. This place is fun, and has some pretty cool stuff, go check it out! read more

Really cool crafts and great people. Brought my seven year old in to buy something and the gentlemen working patiently answered all of his crazy questions. read more

Went in there casually looking for a lanyard for my keys. They don't carry them, but... The sweet heart of a girl said "I'd love to make you one." Seriously? 45 minutes later I was thanking her profusely. Beautiful work. Perfect for what I needed. Put just a huge smile on my face. If the folks at this place can't make you happy, I'm sorry. It might be hopeless. read more

Beautiful craftsmanship, and a wide array of gifts for everyone. Bracelets, wall art, table furnishing, and more. And the prices were very reasonable. read more

Sailor rope bracelets were essential to my childhood summers. Purchased at the beginning of a beach vacation and soaked for months in salt and chlorine until Mom insisted on cutting it off with the promise of a fresh one next year. I still feel a wave of excitement when I see them. Nowadays you can find them at Mystic Knotwork in every color imaginable, along with doormats, coasters, monkeyfist keychains, even ankle bracelets - all steeped in this coastal tradition. Headquartered on Cottrell Street, Mystic Knotwork has been owned and operated by the Beaudoin family since the late fifties. While working on a cargo ship in the thirties, Matt Beaudoin's grandfather began his love affair with nautical knot tying. He honed his skills for decades before eventually turning his craft into a business. Matt and his family are still churning out the inventory in a 2,000 foot store/studio, overlooking the Mystic River. Quintessentially New England! Sailor bracelets between $4-$5. read more

I stopped in both locations; the staff in each spot was friendly and willing to help me with the piece I was interested in. While in the shop, they made arrangements to make my piece (a bowl, photo attached) that day and I was able to pick it up before leaving town. Amazing customer service and a great mix of products--I'm already planning what to purchase on my next visit. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Saw an ad for this shop whole we were walking around town and decided to stop in. It's a small little shop with pretty specialized wares, but that's what makes it so great. I was surprised to see someone actualky making some of the items being sold while we were shopping. Definitely worth stopping in. read more

We walked in and there were two people literally making the knotwork right there! They have lots of great gift ideas, and also some more practical things like door mats and dog leashes. I texted a photo of the necklaces to my 15 yr old son to see if he wanted one and he said "yeah that's dope!" So we got one in his school colors. Also, got a cute Christmas ornament for myself! Definitely check it out. read more

Read an article in Ink Magazine and had to see it for myself. Everything is handmade and really cool. Something for everyone inside! Really cute store! read more

Stopped in just to look around and was surprised by the shear amount of rope and thread. They said they are new to the area. I could have spent a good deal more money in there, but we ended up getting a fun coaster set. Friendly people in a unique business. Highly recommend stopping in for a look. read more

Great local craftfolks carrying on a cool tradition. Love the mix of products and the workshop vibe.

Wonderful family-owned business and the shop is so cute. The sailor knot bracelets are really affordable and a great gift. You can see the artisans tying the knots right in the shop. It's a fun place to stop while visiting downtown Mystic. read more
