Irrestringible

The yarn for the Essential Stripe sweater has this label: 100% EXTRAFINE MERINO WOOL IRRESTRINGIBLE.

Unable to be restrung? When was the last time that I tried to restring my yarn? How does one restring yarn? Un-ply it?

Or is this a case of maltranslation? After all, this is Italian yarn. It really means irresistible.

(Even Googling didn't solve this one.)

Knitting link for the day: A bug cozy.

I think irrestringible means superwash in Italian. (Either that, or you can't ever get it tangled!)
