    For leather that has been on a spool a long time and is now curly, I
    assume that the leather has dried out a bit and is therefore stiff. 
    You might try a leather conditioner like saddle soap or other product
    made for saddles.  I use Effax Leather Combi on my saddles and
    bridles. Since it is a liquid, it would probably work better than
    saddle soap in the application to a cord.  Saddle soap is more like a
    cream that must be rubbed in, where the Leather Combi is a thin
    liquid that you apply then wipe off.  It makes the leather soft,
    supple, is grease free, does not change the color, and might just do
    the trick for you.
