What to do about loose/pulled/snagged thread in a necktie?

Hi all,

I'm wondering what the fine people of AoM recommend I do about a pulled thread in a necktie?

Image below describes it better than my words will:

Looks like just a little scuff, but it bugs me every time I see it.. I'm reading that some people recommend to burn it, others to cut it... what about here, what do folks here recommend?

Also, good quote:

“A well tied tie is the first serious step in life.” -Oscar Wilde


Best wishes

It depends I can see if it is just a bit of thread.  If I can I'll pull a little more out then cut it.  Then I straighten up the fabric.  This will cause the loose thread to go into the fabric.

But given your photo you may just need to scrap the tie.
