Hot water bottle cosy

[snakeling]

I've broken out the hot water bottle, and managed to burn my foot on it yesterday, so I want to knit a cosy for it. I've found the pattern I want to use, but I'm unsure about the yarn. Can I use anything, or are there yarns I should avoid in case they melt?

What ^ said. Also: I'd avoid anything with acrylic. Can be melty and react to heat strangely.
