When you pull a cotton sweater off your skin, electrons typically transfer from the sweater to your skin. This transfer occurs due to friction, which causes static electricity to build up. As a result, your skin can become positively charged while the sweater becomes negatively charged. This is why you may feel a slight shock or see the sweater cling to your skin.
