Default How to dry out thread?

Our basement started flooding tonight. Not really a surprise, but this time it was coming in from the out side and backing up through the basement drain. Wife handed me the plunger and said get to work. I said it's coming "IN" not plugged up. She said plunge it anyway. So I did. I plunged it till I got some bubbles back out of it then plunged it some more till the handle came out of the plunger. By then I had a little whirl pool and the water started draining out.

We got all the machines that were down low out of harms way except my treadle. I'll float it in Liquid Wrench then oil. No problem

However one box of my thread was on the floor. Two rows of thread on each side got wet. Probably close to 80 spools. It's good thread I want to try and save it.
It's on plastic spools.

How best to dry it?
