Yarn
I’ve used a bulky/5 weight yarn for this crochet drink mitt. I wanted to make sure that it was thick enough to keep my hand and the drink warm (or cool). The yarn I used for mine was Loops & Threads Charisma as it was what I had on hand at the time. There are many other bulky weight yarns that you can substitute.
