re tuff it, use a clear silicone.Have you got an off cut, clean out burnt fibres then pick tuffs off offcut then little bit of silicone and re tuff.

You want a mattress needle Colin you can get them from here

or depending on how burnt it is you could try sanding it down and see if it camouflages.

By wool I meant whatever yarn to match. Most wool shops sell synthetic yarns as well.
