Strata (noun): a layer or a series of layers of rock in the ground.

Vernal Utah is famous for rich deposits of fossils revealed in rocky layers. There is even a museum built around an actual cliff-side of fossils. You can see layer upon layer of sediment revealing a history of plant and animal life going back millennia.

This cowl reveals your own layers of colors. It uses one full skein and set of five mini skeins, striped together for a beautiful effect. It starts with a provisional cast on and is knit side to side then grafted together for a seamless finish.
