The lengthwise, or warp-wise, edge of a woven fabric. The point at which the weft yarns bind the warp to form a finished edge. The two finished edges on fabric formed during weaving. The shuttle (weft) makes the selvedge when it turns to make its journey over and under the warp yarns again and again. In tailoring, the selvedge is the flow direction of the fabric.
