Kristanna Cashmere Blend Asymmetrical Poncho Review

If you are shopping for a high quality, soft and cosy poncho, we highly recommend the Kristanna 100% wool poncho from Part Two.

It is incredibly comfortable and versatile enough that you can wear it in any season and to any occasion. With its asymmetrical cut and boat style neckline, it’s also quite stylish. You can wear the Kristanna  poncho for its cosy warmth, its elegant style, to layer an outfit, or all three.

What Are You Buying?

1. Warm and Cosy Wool Poncho

You can certainly get a poncho that’s way cheaper than what the Part Two Kristanna poncho costs. But there’s a good reason why it costs more.

It’s made from 100% wool. To be specific, it’s a blend of 90% wool and 10% cashmere (cashmere is a type of wool sourced from goats).

So the Kristanna poncho is fully natural, hence the higher price tag. The natural materials used to craft the poncho come with plenty of advantages.

One, it is warm while also being breathable. Wool is one of the best fabrics if you want to stay warm without sweating too much or getting too hot. The Kristanna poncho is perfect for wrapping yourself in during chilly weather. It’s especially suitable for mildly cold weather such as during spring or on cool summer evenings.

The poncho is a great item for layering whether you are going to work, a dinner party or a weekend outing. You can easily take it off when it gets warm and quickly put it on when the wind picks up.

Another benefit of spending on a wool poncho is durability. While the Kristanna poncho requires delicate care (which we explain further below) it lasts for years when well taken care of. Even with frequent use, it can last as long as 10 years or more.

Wool is also much softer and cosier compared to cotton or polyester. The Kristanna poncho feels gentle on your skin and is a pleasure to hold in your hands. You’ll especially love it if you have sensitive skin that reacts to most fabrics.

2. Stylish Poncho Suitable for Any Occasion

In addition to being a practical clothing item to layer over your outfit, the Part Two Kristanna poncho is also a stylish addition to your wardrobe. So you can stay warm and look elegant at the same time.

It has an asymmetrical design where one side is lower than the other. Combined with the wide boat neck, the Kristanna poncho looks elegant and stylish.

The poncho is currently available in two colours: a medium grey melange and misty rose. Of the two, the grey option is the most versatile. You can layer it with just about any other colour and outfit. The pink option matches well with darker colours.

3. Perfectly Sized Poncho for Most Women

The Kristanna poncho drapes loosely on you, just like a proper poncho should. The loose fit ensures it’s comfortable and leaves you free to move your arms with complete freedom.

The poncho is designed with a mid-length fit. It drops down your waist or lower, even if you are 6ft tall. The generous length keeps your upper body sufficiently warm and when seated, it also covers part of your legs.

The longer length of the poncho also looks better on most body types and sizes compared to a shorter poncho that cuts off above your waist.

How Comfortable Is It?

The Part Two Kristanna poncho is one of the cosiest and most comfortable ponchos you can buy. It is as soft as you would expect a wool poncho to be.

Wool is an excellent insulator and it’s also highly breathable. This makes it excellent at temperature regulation. The Kristanna poncho keeps you toasty and warm, without making you too hot or sweaty. It’s a lot more comfortable compared to a cheaper synthetic poncho.

Finally, we love the loose and long fit. It drapes comfortably over your body, regardless of your height or body type.

What Accessories Are Included?

The Kristanna poncho doesn’t come with any accessories.

Pros

• Super soft and cosy wool poncho.

Cons

• A bit pricey (but worth it).
• Requires delicate care.

Anything Else You Should Know?

Let’s talk a bit about taking care of the Kristanna cashmere poncho. Wool items are long lasting but they need proper care. That’s why some washing machines even have a program specifically for wool and there are specific detergents for wool.

For the Kristanna poncho, you shouldn’t put it in the washing machine at all. It is hand wash only to ensure the gentlest treatment. Use a gentle detergent (ideally a wool-specific detergent) and do not bleach.

Also keep the poncho out of the dryer; it’s not safe to tumble dry it even on a low setting.

The safest way to dry the poncho is air drying. And even then, only dry it flat on a rack. Do not hang dry as that can stretch it.

Conclusion

Warm, soft, stylish, versatile, durable — there’s a lot to like about the Part Two cashmere poncho. Sure, it’s a bit more expensive than most cotton or polyester ponchos you’ll come across, but it’s worth it.
