I am weaving towels and using cotton for the warp and linen for the weft. The left selvedge is lovely. On the right selvedge, however, it looks like some twist is built into the warp throw. The selvedge isn't always laying as nicely as on the left side. I have stretches of lovely right hand selvedge, but also long stretches of the twist. I can't find myself to be winding the bobbins or throwing the shuttle differently--but I must be doing something wonky. Thanks for your ideas!

Most weavers have one selvedge better than the other - just watch carefully, perhaps use a temple if not using one now, and you'll figure out what is happening.
