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?

I don't think a hot water bottle will get hot enough to melt acrylic, and some of it is nice and soft, but I just prefer wool.

(I have a hot water bottle that is my best friend these cold nights, but I ended up making a cover for it out of the sleeve of a old fleece shirt of my husband's, and adding Velcro to close it.)
