jalar hacia un lado/torcer

cuando se jala la telaraña hacia un lado

askew solito sería más bien "torcido", pero no me imagino cómo puedes "torcer" una telaraña...

askew: turned or twisted to one side; "rugs lying askew"; "with his necktie twisted awry"
turned or twisted toward one side; "a...youth with a gorgeous red necktie all awry"- G.K.Chesterton; "his wig was, as the British say, skew-whiff"
