Why is it feminine?

Telas is feminine because it derives from Latin "tēla" (feminine), which originally meant "web" or "woven fabric"—the feminine gender was preserved as the word evolved through Vulgar Latin into Spanish and other Romance languages. The Latin feminine ending -a naturally carried through to Spanish, making it "la tela" rather than "el tela."
