The lady who taught me to spin said that there's a directional element - like hair, if you go against the cuticle or surface. Did you try turning it around?

Anyway, sometimes a light water mist (keep fibers in a closed bag for a day or two to equilibrate) revives overprocessed fibers, restores some crimpiness.
