selvage
A selvage (US English) or selvedge (British English) is a self-finished edge of fabric. The selvages keep the fabric from unraveling or fraying.〔 The selvages are a result of how the fabric is created. In woven fabric, selvages are the edges that run parallel to the warp (the longitudinal threads that run the entire length of the fabric), and are created by the weft thread looping back at the end of each row. In knitted fabrics, selvages are the unfinished yet structurally sound edges that were neither cast on nor bound off.〔McCall's Sewing Book, Random House: 1968: 198, 224〕 Historically, the term selvage applied only to loom woven fabric, though now can be applied to flat-knitted fabric.
The terms ''selvage'' and ''selvedge'' are a corruption of "self-edge", and have been in use since the 16th century.〔"Selvage." ''The Oxford English Dictionary''. 2nd ed. 1989.〕
==In printing and philately==
In the print industry, selvage is the excess area of a printed or perforated sheet of any material, such as the white border area of a sheet of stamps or the wide margins of an engraving etc. The term is also widely used in philately.
