Because the color is \u003cstrong\u003edyed into the cotton rather than printed on it\u003c\/strong\u003e, the spectrum survives the scuffing that a printed rope loses within a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Dye And What It Costs You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural dye gives the softer, chalkier tone you can see against a synthetic rainbow, and it comes with a trade: \u003cstrong\u003ethe colors shift over time and no two ropes match\u003c\/strong\u003e. The maker also states that the gold hardware may fade and patina with use. Both are properties of the choice, not faults in the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Charm And A Ring At The Clip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitting end carries a \u003cstrong\u003ematching dog charm and an accessory ring\u003c\/strong\u003e alongside the clip, so a waste bag roll or a set of keys rides on the leash rather than in a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRope Thickness You Can Actually Grip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rope is just over half an inch across. That is \u003cstrong\u003ethick enough to close a hand around properly\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is what stops a leash cutting into the palm when a dog checks hard at the end of it.
