I tried that and found that a dishwashing glove over a liner was too warm. 
The dishwashing glove alone was plenty. I do not recall the air and water 
temps, but I was WW boating in North Georgia in the winter.

If you need more insulation, I'd go for a fairly skinny liner unless you're 
going to be out among the floes with Greg and Harvey. A heavy knit puts a 
lot of squishy fabric between you and the paddle shaft, and I find I can't 
get the precision I'd like. Sort of like putting softer bushings on your 
car's front suspension.
