British wool, graded and spun in Yorkshire, and laid into rope in Britain. It arrives here as finished rope and braid, and is woven by hand. That is the whole route, and it is the reason this is worth making.
About this piece+
Chestnut rope, a beige stopper and charcoal wool at the handle. The Brampton Hybrid Lead in Chestnut is the lead built to go with the Brampton Beige collar, and the quietest of the four hybrid leads.
Three materials, each doing one job. Chestnut 10mm nylon or PPM rope is the body, and it is unbothered by rain, mud or salt. A beige 19mm BioThane® branded stopper at the handle carries the collar's colour into the lead and adds waterproof structure where the hand sits. 2mm Brampton braided wool whipping is the join, and the craft detail that ties the whole thing back to The Sheep Shed. An 11mm Green Dog brass disc sits on the O-ring at the handle, stamped once with the logo.
Available as a clip lead, slip lead, figure of 8, or hands-free at 8 feet. The hands-free version has two BioThane® adjustable sliders, beige 19mm and hunter green 19mm, each with a brass O-ring embedded and a brass trigger hook at both ends of the lead. Every detail of the lead mirrors the collar.

Materials & construction+
Rope: Chestnut 10mm nylon or PPM rope, practical, durable, and unbothered by British weather.
BioThane® stopper: Beige 19mm BioThane® branded stopper at the handle, matching the collar strap.
Wool whipping: 2mm Brampton braided wool, hand-whipped at the handle. Whipped, not spliced. On this rope the whipping is the join. Same Brampton wool as the collar, the charcoal grey, undyed. British wool, graded and spun in Yorkshire, and laid into rope in Britain.
Hardware: Solid brass trigger snap clip and O-ring. Hands-free: beige and hunter green 19mm BioThane® sliders with embedded brass O-rings and trigger hooks at both ends. Twelve-month hardware guarantee.
Lengths: Clip, slip and figure of 8 at 130cm. Hands-free at 8ft.
Sizing & fit+
Standard lead (clip, slip or figure of 8): 130cm from handle to clip. The most versatile everyday walking length. Clip attaches to the collar D-ring. Slip adjusts on the dog. Figure of 8 adds a nose loop for training guidance.
Hands-free (8ft): Long enough to wear comfortably at the waist or across the body. Two BioThane® adjustable sliders with brass O-rings let you shorten or extend the active length. Brass trigger hooks at both ends.
Which style: Clip if your dog wears a collar or harness. Slip or figure of 8 if you want control without a separate collar. Hands-free if you run, cycle or simply need your hands.
If you need a different length, get in touch before ordering.
Changing your mind: Every style and length here is one I already make, so picking between them is an ordinary purchase and you keep the full 30 days from delivery to change your mind, against the 14 the law sets. If you order the wrong style for your dog, message me. Exchanges and amendments are available. The terms live on my returns page.
Who pays the postage on an exchange: There is no neck measurement on a lead. What you are choosing is the style and the length that comes with it. If I sent the wrong one, I cover the postage both ways. If the style you picked turned out not to suit you and the dog, the postage each way is yours.
Faulty or damaged: Anything faulty, damaged or not as described is on me: repair, replacement or refund, postage included.
Care & durability+
Rope: Wipe clean or hand wash gently in cool water. Air dry naturally.
BioThane® stopper and sliders: Wipe clean. Fully waterproof, no maintenance needed.
Wool whipping: The wool is untreated, which is what gives it the handle. It also means it will felt if it gets wet and worked, so do not wash it. Let mud dry completely and brush it out with a soft brush.
Hardware: Solid brass throughout. Will develop a natural patina. Covered by Green Dog's twelve-month hardware guarantee.
Not machine washable: The rope and the BioThane® would be fine. The wool whipping would not, and neither would the brass. Do not wash the wool whipping at all: let mud dry on it and brush it out with a soft brush.
Questions & answers+
Is this lead spliced at the handle? No. The handle is hand-whipped with 2mm Brampton braided wool. On the hybrid leads the whipping is the join, not a decoration over a splice.
Why three materials in one lead? Each does a job. The rope is the body and handles any weather. The BioThane® stopper adds waterproof structure at the handle and carries the collar's colour into the lead. The wool whipping is the craft detail that ties both back to the Sheep Shed.
What is the difference between the clip, slip and figure of 8 versions? Clip fastens to a collar or harness. Slip goes over the head and adjusts on the dog. Figure of 8 adds a nose loop for guidance in training. All three are 130cm.
Can I machine wash it? No. The 2mm wool whipping is untreated and will felt, and the brass fittings should not go in a drum. Do not wash the wool whipping: let it dry and brush it out instead. Wipe the rope and the BioThane® down with a damp cloth.
Is there a matching collar? Yes, the Brampton Wool and BioThane Collar in Beige. Put the collar and the lead in the same basket and 10% comes off the lead automatically, with no code. It does not combine with a discount code.
How long will it take to arrive? Two to six working days is the making window, and it ends when the lead is dispatched. UK tracked post is one to two working days after that, so door to door is usually three to eight working days. UK tracked delivery is free over £55.
Delivery & returns+
Made to order in Britain and dispatched in 2 to 6 working days. It's worth two minutes with the measuring guide before you order. This is a size from a range I already make, so if the size turns out to be wrong, message me within 14 days. An exchange or an amendment is usually simpler than sending it back. If I got it wrong, I cover the postage both ways; if the measurement turned out not to suit your dog, the postage each way is yours. Either way, message me. I'd far rather talk it through than have you post anything. You also have 30 days from delivery to change your mind, where the law asks for 14: send it back unused and I'll refund what you paid for it and the standard delivery I charged, and the return postage is at your cost. If anything arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, that's on me: repair, replacement or refund, and I cover the postage.
