OP Make sure whatever you lay the sweater on is perfectly clean....

I like this idea. It makes a lot of sense I see a huge difference in drying time between summer (high humidity) and winter (dry air)

Surprised no one else does this - before drying the rest of the way, I lay it out on the thickest towel available, roll it up, and squeeze out as much water as I can (not wring, just squeeze.)
THEN for more delicate sweaters I get a fresh towel and lay it out again, for others I drape over a drying rack (I try to spread over a few bars but even when I'm crowded and need to drape over one bar I don't think I've had bad results)
As life has become busier, I machine dry sweaters that aren't favorite nor expensive. They've been coming out fine, I'm just not taking chances on things I'm especially attached to.

And I don't have a dehumidifier but I try to place my drying rack near a fan or air conditioner, weather permitting.

I keep the window in my laundry room open during the day. And I of course use a drying rack
I put almost nothing in the dryer so it’s essential for me
