run
Don't press too hard with the roller or brush, because it's liable that you'll get a run in the fabric.

: A "run" is what we call in Egypt كرر, which is especially common in knitted fabrics, socks, etc.

pluck / plucked
when you catch clothes on something like a nail and it pulls out part of the material we often say it has a pluck in it or it is plucked
it is not as bad as tear.
if the clothing is tights we call it a ladder and use that as a verb as well
