If you look closely you can see that it is possibily 4 threads wide and there is a crossing of it with 4 blue threads on the right side of the picture as well, so definately meant to be there, and not designed to be removeable,
sometimes it helps with these examples to copy into an image programme where you can then enlarge and also change the colour balance, which usually helps to make things clearer
