The word "slubs" refers to thick, uneven portions of a yarn or fabric. While there aren't really any direct antonyms for this term, some words that might be considered opposite in meaning include "smooth," "even," "regular," "polished" and "homogeneous." A "smooth" fabric would be one without any slubs or bumps, while an "even" fabric would contain regularly spaced and consistent threads. Similarly, a "polished" fabric would be one that's been refined to a silky texture, and a "homogeneous" fabric would be one in which all the threads have a uniform thickness and appearance. While slubs can sometimes add texture and visual interest to fabrics, these antonyms might be preferred in certain contexts, such as for formal wear or in household linens.
