Because of the texture, if you rubbed together two pieces of silk that would cause more static electricity than two pieces of fleece.
Lighting is caused by static charge, not that lighting is a static charge . It happen when unlike charge come in attraction.
Friction
Friction is the force that causes static charge
It's caused by static cling. As the clothes tumble around together, it causes friction between the fabrics, and certain fabrics (which is usually most fabrics) have the ability to create static electricity, or static cling, that keeps clothes stuck together. (Hint: try using Bounce sheets or other dryer sheets, because they prevent static cling on clothes).
in my own explanation static charge is a reaction between the (+)protons and (-)electrons an the effect of this reaction is called static electricity.

Friction
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
Static electricity DOES have an electric charge.

It is static electricity or in other words just static, or just a static charge.
As the word static means motionless or stationary, the static electricity refers to electrons that are stationary. Hence, static electricity is a charge and not a current.

There is a difference between a charge and a static charge. A static charge occurs when positive and negative electrons separate themselves to form a conduct charge.
