You do not want to put a cloth of any kind on the eggs. They need to breathe. The evaporation from a wet cloth on an egg causes the egg to cool down.

I hatch my turkey eggs at 65% to 7o% humidity.

Might as well open it up and get em out and check em after 3 days probably won’t be good.

Move it completely away from the eggs.

70% humidity is fine for hatching turkey eggs.
