Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to have to do. Hopefully, if I can use a thread cutter to reach in and sever it every few inches, I can then just pull the white thread out without altering the selvedge. I would think that the friction of the tucked yarns going through a dozen or so warp threads would still stay put even though their looped ends are dangling further out than before. I might also try using some tweezers to see if I can find the ends of the tucked yarns and tug on them a bit, in the hopes that I can draw those sloppy looped ends tighter against the last warp yarn. It may be too tight a weave to do that with tweezers, though, and even if it were successful, I'd have to do that on thousands of individual yarns to clean up the whole 10 metres worth. Probably not worth the effort!

My last-ditch solution would be to see if I can dye that white thread with a dark green or blue dye, very carefully, in the hopes that it will at least darken it to be less noticeable.
