Our heritage rope leads are unique to Maypole Bells. The handle is a proper bell-rope sally, so it's soft, warm and comfortable to hold on every walk. Suitable for dogs, cats and other pets.

• Sally: soft Merino wool, in any combination of up to 4 colours from our full wool range. Choose a sample combination or design your own when you order.
• Rope: 7/8mm diameter. Natural flax is used unless you choose a colour. Coloured ropes are brushed polyester, in a choice of colours.
• Length: 90cm (36″), 105cm (42″), 120cm (48″) or 137cm (54″). Need something different? Get in touch and we'll cut to your length.
• Clasp: a black swivel frog clasp in high quality aviation grade anodised aluminium, or a sprung clasp in high quality marine grade stainless steel.

Every piece is made to order by hand, so allow a little time for making, and expect slight natural variation in the finish.

Rope has been crafted on ropewalks in much the same way for centuries, and every Maypole piece carries that heritage forward. It's handmade to order by Trevor on the Maypole Ropewalk in Kent. Wool is fed into each of the three strands as the rope is laid, then the sally is combed and trimmed with traditional hand tools, exactly as for a church bell rope.

Because it's made by hand, expect slight natural variation, which is part of the charm. If we have any questions about your colour choices, we'll be in touch before we start.

Need something bespoke, such as a custom length or your church's patron saint colours? Call Trevor on 07860 770535.

Sallies are pure Merino wool. To freshen one up, brush gently by hand. If it needs cleaning, sponge or hand wash in cool water with a wool-safe detergent, squeeze out gently (don't wring) and dry flat away from direct heat.

The polyester rope can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Postage is calculated at checkout. As each item is made to order, please allow time for making before dispatch.

Because products are personalised in your chosen colours, we can't accept returns for a change of mind. If anything arrives damaged or faulty, contact us within 14 days and we'll put it right. Your statutory rights are not affected.
