Wet cloth contains water.  Initially it helps using wet cloth if the pan is not too hot.
If you hold the hot pan for long. then hands feel the heat.

Dry cloth has less thermal conductivity.  Wet cloth has higher conductivity due to water in it. Wet cloth becomes hotter in shorter time. It burns our hand quicker.  So a thick dry cloth may be better.
