Nautical Monkey Fist Stopper

Matt grew up tying knots.

Matt's grandfather, Alton Beaudoin, opened their family knot shop in 1957 out of their house in Old Mystic, Connecticut. In 1996 Alton handed the business down to Matt and Matt continued catering to the faithful customers that I had known my whole life.

In 2008 Matt left his corporate job after nine years to follow his passion and turn his grandfather's dream into a reality. Matt changed the name from Beaudoin's Rope Locker to Mystic Knotwork, as it is known today, and he launched the business online.

They worked for eight years to rebuild the business from my house, through the Velvet Mill in Stonington, Connecticut, to opening to the public in Mystic. Their team expanded from the family to include artisans from diverse creative backgrounds. In early 2015, they found their workshop, a destination originally used for sail and rigging repair over 100 years ago and in Historic Downtown Mystic. When you step into the shop overlooking the Mystic River, you will see constant creation of the handmade knots in our store, as well as museum quality works that make up a part of my family's history. 

A cotton monkey fist knot bottle stopper in 12 color choices. It won't stop you from opening the bottle, but it will stop the contents of the bottle from spilling out.

This bottle stopper is 3.75 inches long and the ball is 1.5 inches across. We tie the monkey fist right to the solid stopper with hard laid cotton cord, so you know it will hold up!

The perfect nautical gift; available in twelve colors: Blue, Royal Blue, Turquoise, Forest Green, Green, White, Navy, Red, Burgundy, Brown, Tan and Gray
