Overspun singles have a tendency to slant. Try doing some slipped stitches or do it all in ribbing to combat it a bit. If you know a spinner maybe they can ply some of it for you then you wouldn't have to worry about the slant at all. You aren’t doing anything wrong.

Also, you could knit in garter stitch or 1x1 rib, which would keep it from slanting, since the pull would be equal from both sides. ^^^Amy is right.

The wool fibre has a lot of bindings if you look at it in a microscope and some of those bindings can be changed when the wool is wet and then remain when it has dried.
