Disappointed
While this yarn is pretty, it is rough to the touch - especially for a baby item and it's called "Softee" yarn. Also, I bought it with other same brand colors to make granny squares and this yarn is much thicker than the other colors so the squares do not come out even in size. I really like the color and wish they could make it better for a baby's soft skin.

Bernat softee baby yarn
Very soft and washable/dryable, which is important since I use it for baby items. So far, the quality of the yarn has been good, no "bad" places. Can't say the same about other yarns, namely Paton's sock yarn.

Baby blankets
I bought one skein of Softee Baby yarn in mint, which turned out great. It makes a great complimentary color alongside blue, gold, and yellow.

Poor Quality
Yarn is easily prone to splitting and fraying. Project came out fuzzy with fibers shedding. Super disappointed.

Inconsistent weight and texture
I bought two colors of this yarn - soft peach and flannel. The colors are beautiful and I’m very happy with that. However, the weight is definitely inconsistent. The peach is lighter, splits no matter what I do, but feels softer. The flannel is a bit heavier, not much but has more definition to it. It’s still soft though. Would I buy it again? Maybe. But I’d be more inclined to go to the store so I could see and feel it firsthand.

Perfectly Soft Newborn Blanket!
I used this yarn in a beautiful dainty blessing blanket for a newborn with an accompanying newborn bonnet!!! Accented with Soft Peach, the Antique White was a lovely gift that could be used at a christening for a wee baby girl. The softness made it a perfect cuddly newborn blanket.

Beautiful yarn
I love this yarn and bought it in 3 colors to make a baby blanket. When I went back for more, they were out of one of the colors, so I ordered it online. One can no longer trust USPS for shipping and I wish Joanns would use a different carrier. It's been several days now. The ream was shipped from Ohio to NM, where I live, and then instead of delivering it, it was sent on to Portland, Oregon. I'm praying it makes its way back here as the baby just arrived yesterday.... disappointed in shipment.

The sad waste of time . Navy / Marine Softee
PLEASE DONT BUY THIS YARN.
I actually gave this yarn a second chance and it was worse than the 1st time.
The pull string is just a rats nest inside . So much time wasted on untangling I almost started crying .
This yarn does not bring you any sense of peace or happiness.

Haven't Received
I really like this yarn and ordered a color that wasn't available in my local Joann's. I emailed the company to find out why it's delayed but no response. I would like to know if I'm going to get the yarn. If not I can order from some place else. An acknowledgement would be great.

Best baby yarn
I've used this for many years, IMO it's the best acrylic yarn for preemie and baby wear out there. No problems with splitting or variation in thickness, it always works at 22 Sts to 4 inches on 4mm needles for me.

Not what I expected with this brand.
Am making some things for our first great grandson. Tried to follow directions on the label to find the end of yarn but could not pull a starting yarn from the ends. Finally used the outer wound end but that made the inner yarn fall out both ends. Was left with lots of knotted yarn and spent hours trying to unwind it. Finally saved about half and threw away balls of pieces and knots. Unfortunately I bought some blue of the same brand. Need to crochet baby things not waste time unwinding impossibly spun yarn.

I love this for baby blankets
This is one of my favorite yarns to use for baby blankets. They wash well, holds it shape and stays soft. They only drawbacks, is when you start a skein, it’s quite knotted inside so prepare to add extra time to undo the knots!

I really like this yarn.
I got this yarn to make baby blankets and clothes for my niece who is having a baby. I really like this yarn a lot. It is beautiful and easy to work with. And I like how it feels in my hands. I have antique white and little mouse and they are so beautiful. I just wish Joann had all the colors in stock. I plan to get the white and navy next. I love that they have more than pastels because most baby yarns have only pastels and very limited selection. But it is irritating to have to order some colors for shipping while others are available in the store.

Flannel and pink softee yarn
I will never buy this yarn again. Some skeins were soft , some not so soft . No consistency . Knotted very easily. Many dye flaws which bummed me out. Flannel is more of a baby blue than a gray flannel. Also each skein was cut and tied in different places to make a full skein. I spent more time on damage control then making the blanket.

I made a sweater with this yarn, it's okay. I really like the color navy because it changes colors in the sunlight. But unfortunately this yarn splits. Reading the reviews, people said that their yarn got tangled, or it wasn't a very consistent weight, however I didn't have those problems. Also it is very soft and not itchy, coming from someone with sensitive skin. Although, due to the other reviews being so negative, I would recommend trying this yarn out on a smaller project to see if you like it.

Inconsistent yarn weight and texture across colors
I would like to give this product 5 stars, but its weight/thickness/texture is inconsistent across colors. I have an Antique White and Soft Peach that are thick and fuzzy, closer to worsted in weight. Bubble Gum is thinner and very silky. Aqua and Lilac are in between. All were purchased at the same time, in March 2023. The differences are large enough that I have to use different knitting needle and crochet hook sizes to get the same gauge. That makes it difficult to combine the yarns in the same pattern. I actually prefer the texture and weight of the Bubble Gum, but I would settle for consistency.

Not all skeins are the same in texture.
I bought Bernat Softee Baby Yarn online for a baby blanket project. 3 skeins of white, 1 of rose, and 1 green. The white skeins are definitely a different fiber from the colors. Although I know they are all acrylic, the white is thicker and feels more like cotton than the silky look and feel of the color skeins. Disappointed.

Poor quality. Overpriced.
The yarn became a major disappointment because the thickness of the strand varied from #3 to #4, it fringes easily, splitting. Overpriced. I don’t recommend this yarn to anybody.

I DO NOT recommend this yarn for your special projects. It continually splits and the yarn appears fuzzy.

Updating my disappointing review
To update...once I got the ball of knotted yarn untangled, after debating whether to return it all or not, I decided to try using one ball and see what happens. The yarn was easy to use and was of good quality. So far, pleased with the results of the sweater I'm knitting. Still worried about the other skeins of yarn. Some seemed rather bunched with a mess of yarn when I try to find the end. That's the drawback. Otherwise, seems good.

Disappointing
Haven’t knit much in a while but always used Bernat yarn in the past and found it the best. This yarn, sadly, wasn’t. Finding the end was impossible. Clumps of yarn were so tangled and knotted it took forever to fix! I was covered in fuzzy yarn, too, which had never happened to me with any brand of yarn. Very disappointed.

beautiful pastel
I really like Bernat Softee Baby Yarn. I make most of my baby blankets with this brand. The mint softee baby is so soft, so durable, and a beautiful pastel that fits well with so many other colours.
