Wool should be laid flat to dry, generally. If a garment is knit out of superwash wool (fibers that have had the scales removed to prevent felting in the wash) they will sometimes require a trip through the dryer when damp to get their "bounce" back.
I put my wool socks on blockers to dry, because it makes them pretty and I'm kind of picky about my laundry.
