Best Answer

When clothes are in the dryer and they tumble they create friction causing the electrons of an atom to build up on the sock , creating static electricity which creates a negative charge. The shirt is still uncharged, so when they come out of the dryer the socks negative charge attracts the protons in the shirt making them stick together. It is also known as induction.
