slubbed
Having thick spots
Slubbed describes fabric or yarn with an uneven texture created by thick and thin sections in the thread.
The irregular bumps and variations, called slubs, may be intentional for visual interest or result from imperfect spinning.
Slubbed silk, linen, and cotton have a rustic, textured appearance: The slubbed weave gave the curtains an organic look.
