Very Soft, knits up beautifully
This is a great yarn, it is soft and knits up very nicely as well there are not lots of little pieces coming off of this yarn like some yarns.

misleading colour name
I have used Bernat Softee Baby yarn for blankets to welcome my 6 grandchildren as well as a nephew and knitted 2 smaller doll ones for newly-minted big sisters. Only once did I use another brand of yarn (in order to get the colour choice of the new mom) and found it didn't drape as nicely or feel as soft. Imagine how happy I was to find that Softee Baby was available on line in aqua, my daughter's choice for her 3rd daughter, whose birth is anticipated in the new year. Imagine my dismay to find that it was a much deeper shade than my understanding of aqua -- almost bordering on teal, and too harsh a colour for a newborn in my estimation. I've taken to locally available pink and green instead, and will keep the "aqua" for another project.
