Why does hanging your wet clothes make them dry? Even when it’s not hit by sunlight.

I hang some of my wet clothes indoors. And they become dry eventually. They’re not hit by sunlight, and the room’s temperature is not high either. So why is it drying?

Water from the clothes becomes a gas vapor. When clothes are hung, a greater surface of them is in contact with air and may be hit by a draft that brings dry air to them. Plastic fibers hold on to water poorly, and some of it will drain to the bottom because of gravity and drip out still in liquid form.
