The International Guild of Knot Tyers is not an exclusive organisation of experts. We do have our experts across a wide range of knotting aspects, but one of the reasons they joined the Guild was to pass on their skills and their enjoyment of knot tying to others. Most of the members would say that they are still learning.

Don't worry about your present skills. Even our most skilled knotters were beginners at some time. For some, of course, that was a longer time ago than they care to remember! But if you have the enthusiasm we can help you build your skills.

Looking to learn a bit about knotting to see if it's something you enjoy?  Look no further.  Here we have a number of tutorials covering some of the basics of knots and knotting. Try a few projects and see what you think, and, if you enjoy yourself, consider joining the IGKT.
