Double Bass Unravelling Dlugo E/A

[JLubinsky-Mast]

If there is a thread related to this already, my apologies for not searching hard enough.

I have a well loved, played hard 3+ years old set of Dlugoglecki's that have been on and off multiple times on both my basses. Great strings.
I'm currently changing them, the E/A have unwound to the point where the windings vibrate, and the strings are un-usable.

I know Gamut, will re-wind their strings a few times. From what I understand, Mr. Dlugoglecki does not do this.
Is there a place where they do rewind random gut strings? Or are these resigned to being unwound and used as a D/G string?

I ran into that problem when I was playing gut and got no joy.

would you be able to use unwound E/A strings as D/G strings?

I believe so. Just wanted to check if there were any options before I go this route.

Yes you can. Unwinding is work, though.

Haha, yes. Slowly finding that out. Very slowly
