It arrives as finished British rope and braid from Sustainable Rope, founded by Kate Drury, a fourth-generation sheep farmer and a British Wool board member. It is graded at British Wool in Bradford, spun in Huddersfield, and woven by hand in Oxford. British farmers are paid properly for their wool, and it is made into a proper British material rather than bought in as the cheapest import. That is not an accident. It is what makes this worth making.
About this piece+
This is what Green Dog does at its best, not choosing between materials, but combining them. British wool woven by hand, 10mm nylon or PPM rope that performs in any weather, and BioThane® in considered colours, brought together into something that looks at home on a Cotswold lane or a city pavement.
This is the new Sheep Shed Hybrid range: the craft and texture of The Brampton and The Dingley wool collections, matched to the practical modern materials the dog world reaches for daily, rope and BioThane®, but coloured, proportioned, and assembled in a way the pet industry has never quite seen before.
The Brampton Hybrid Lead in Chestnut is the paired lead for the Brampton Beige collar. Chestnut 10mm nylon or PPM rope, practical and durable, with a beige BioThane® branded stopper at the handle and 2mm Brampton braided wool whipping worked into every detail. An 11mm Green Dog brass disc, hand-stamped by me, sits on the O-ring at the handle.
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.
Pairs with the Brampton Wool & BioThane® Collar in Beige.

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. My wool braid comes from Sustainable Rope, founded by Kate Drury, a fourth-generation sheep farmer and a British Wool board member. It is graded and baled at British Wool in Bradford and spun at a mill in Huddersfield.
Hardware: Solid brass trigger snap clip and O-ring. Hands-free: beige + 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/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.
