Once done, take them out and let them cool and finish drying overnight. unravelingBe sure not to unravel the yarn before it’s completely dry, the curls will not stay.

Thanks so much for the info! I've tried this only with wool yarn. Good to know I can use acrylic! I dried my in the sun but it took days! I'll try the oven method. Thanks again!
