Softening Acrylic Yarn

I have some yarn that is super stiff. It was given to me and rolled into a ball. It is Bernat acrylic and I am wondering how do I soften it up to work with it? I cannot work with it in its current state. I need help. Thanks.

I've read to use vinegar and water. I've also read to use hair conditioner. Hair conditioner is what I'm going to try - made a hat with Red Heart Super Saver. I see using hair conditioner was also mentioned in the archives.

Does anyone have tips for softening items crocheted with Red Heart Super Saver yarn?
