Hi Lea, Terry and I like the Bernat Baby Blanket yarn. It is very soft.
I might experiment with it and make a scarf. the only drawback is that there
is a thread running through the middle of the strand that makes it sort of
hard to knit with.
Please correct me if I am wrong about this Terry.
Happy knitting!

Thanks for the information. I wondered if the baby yarn was extra soft. I
will have to get to a store but everything nearby is shut down.
