Could you go over them with a permanent marker of the same colour? I have no idea if it would 'take' or not as I have never tried this - I colour in badly scuffed toes on my kids shoes with permanent marker and it works well, but not sure if it would work on nylon thread, though.

I did this.. I had some white cotton trousers which I dyed black but they had nylon (ie plastic) stitching so I coloured it in with a permanent marker.. worked a treat!
