I once bought some canvas (Yarka) that had "pinholes" in it, i.e., if you hold it up to the light, you can see teeny weeny little holes. Anyhow, I did not notice them and nearly went nuts half way through my painting because my paint could not cover them...and the flaw became really noticeable to me then.
I eventually tossed the canvas and had to begin again. Now I check all my canvas very carefully. I don't mind ordinary slubs, but am very careful they are not positioned to fall in an important area of the canvas, i.e., the eye, nose.
