Has anyone dried their yarn in the oven?

Question

Okay context: I'm spinning about 1.5oz of Southdown for a skein contest this Saturday at the MI Fiber Fest. Its very last minute because I'm insane and while I can probably get the yarn spun and plied by tomorrow, I need to wash it to set the twist. And the yarn needs to be dry by Saturday morning.

So would it be crazy to put it into a glass baking pan at like 200F for a couple of hours after getting most of the water out? Normally I'm happy to do things the old fashioned way but I would need to speed run this skein.
