Hello, Thanks for reaching out and providing us with your feedback. You can see in the product photos on our site that Debbie Bliss Rialto DK is a superwash yarn. I have reached out to our site team, so that this may be added to the product description as well, to help prevent any confusion in the future. Our apologies for any disappointment this caused! If you have any further questions or feedback, please send me an email at customerservice@yarn.com and I would be happy to help. Best wishes, Customer Service Team WEBS® / America's Yarn Store®
