How to soften acrylic knits?

New to knitting...so I made a simple straight knit scarf with acrylic yarn, I believe it's Carlton?  Anyway, the stuff is not that soft.  I was thinking about soaking it in a bath of fabric softener or vinager overnight to soften...anyone else try this?  Other suggestions?  The memories section in knitting didn't have anything...Thanks in advance!
