Answer:
Since it can't form hydrogen bonds to nylon, we say nylon is more hydrophobic. The same is true for most synthetic polymer fibers, and as a result, cotton absorbs water much more readily than other fibers, and tends to "hang on" to the molecules for longer - which means cotton fibers take longer to day

It is due to large size of pores in cotton and woolen clothes in comparison to nylon clothes. Due to large size of pores they absorb more water and hence take more time to dry.
