    The cloth appears to show a 'tuck-edge' rather than a selvedge. The uneveness seems to be a feature of one colour, the gray, which suggests that there is a difference in spinning quality of that batch and it has therefore shrunk differently uring the finishing process.

    I presume you're referring to the crooked "selvedge".
    I will have to check if the entire length has the same problem.

    My supplier told me it was the first of a new roll. He is willing to send me a new piece of fabric if I can't get the skewing out.
