    Greetings, I am a new subscriber to Orchid and just learning about
    some of the different forms of jewelry.  However I do know about
    leather and leather work.  that is how I became interested in
    jewelry.  To answer your question: Cut a little more of the cord
    (lace, strap, etc.) than you need for the project.  Lay it on a flat
    surface then carefully twist or force it in the opposite direction. 
    It might take some work and time depending on how tightly the leather
    had been wound on the spool, but the leather can be straightened. 

Hope this helps.
