When a wet cloth it jerked the water on it is given kinetic
energy. When you stop the movement of the wet cloth by not letting
go of it some of the water keeps propelling forward with the energy
it was given and does thus not stay on the cloth.

Water can be evaporated from a wet cloth by heat so that the
water rises into the air and the cloth stays without liquid
(solvent) inside it.
