The second slim rainbow lead: same gauge, same cotton, same dimensions as style 1, but a different lay of the colours through the rope. Style 1 and style 2 are sisters rather than copies; either palette will read as a different rope in the hand.
At 12mm the lead is slim, light, and visible. A full rainbow of dyed cotton strands twisted under controlled tension so the colours rotate as the rope turns; the rope still carries Gem's built-in bounce on the spin.
Eye-splice finish, 100% stainless steel hardware. Approximately 1.2m end to end, with about 1.03m from the base of the handle to the metal clip.
If you are choosing between the two slim rainbow leads, the differences are in the lay of the colours and which palette pulls the eye more. Ordering details and dimensions are identical.

Gem Bowes learned to make rope at Arthur Beale, the Shaftesbury Avenue chandlery that has been splicing line since 1500-something. She works now from a Cambridge studio, hand-spinning flax and dead-stock yarn for dog leads, doorstops, juggling balls.
