Four generations of Knot Tyers and inspired by the sea is the secret. We are sailors, we live on the shoreline in Mystic, and we tie knots. A more natural fit couldn’t be imagined. Matt has been addicted to knotting and rope weaving his whole life.

Working with his grandfather he tied knots to earn allowance and saved for his first bicycle helping out when he was 8. Now over 35 years later, the business has grown to include his wife Jill and now daughter Christa.
