When an old pricking came my way, much like yours, quite tightly wound, I gradually pinned it out around a bolster pillow,not pinning through the pricking itself, but pressing a clear piece of vinyl over it that extended past the width of the old pricking, then pinning through the vinyl. I thought I might trace it to redraw it - that idea went by the wayside. The pricking is back to being a roll, but a looser roll than when I got it. It helped that the pricking hadn't gone brittle. If the two you have are stuck together, I'm not sure what to recommend, it would depend on the fibre content.
The fabric end, from what I've read in Thomas Wright, is called an 'each' (pronounced 'eke' maybe?) and that was the bit that was pinned to the pillow to start off. But you probably know that.
