Broken selvedge

[Steve Ashton]

Check out the threads in the link above. That is indeed what is perfectly normal for fabric with a tuck selvedge.

Perhaps a little more of the ends showing that we usually see but there is nothing wrong.

You are also seeing the back side of the fabric. In the days when fabric was woven on shuttle looms the top or good side could be identified by the Twill line going from lower right to upper left as you face the selvedge.
On fabrics woven on rapier looms the Twill line goes is viewed along the length of the fabric so appears to go in the opposite direction when viewed as it is seen in a kilt.

These looms leave these ends of the tucked warp threads on the back side more than one the good side.
