Which run vertically in fabric?

Explanation:
In woven fabrics, the vertical direction is defined by the warp. The warp consists of lengthwise yarns that run from one end of the fabric to the other and are kept taut on the loom, establishing the fabric’s grain. The weft (filling) yarns weave across the fabric, moving perpendicular to the warp to fill the width. The selvage is simply the finished edge along the length of the fabric, not the vertical running threads. Pattern grain indicators or arrows usually align with the warp direction, reinforcing that it’s the lengthwise, vertical run.
