Abstract
A spiral knot or link diagram (introduced in [C. Adams, R. Hudson, R. Morrison, W. George, L. Starkston, S. Taylor and O. Turanova, The spiral index of knots, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 149(2) (2010) 297–315]) is an oriented knot or link diagram where, when traversing through the planar diagram, the curvature does not change sign. An oriented knot or link type is called curly if it admits a spiral diagram with fewer maxima than the braid index of that knot or link type. In this paper, we exhibit families of curly knots and links.
