Some yarns will melt. If you are making something like a potholder that will need to withstand high temperatures, it is best to use yarn made out of cotton, which will not melt. The yarns that you do not want to use are the ones made out of nylon or acrylic, like Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, which will melt and then harden again, making a very stiff plastic-like material.
