You may have been able to get the cotton to regain strength by keeping it in
a humid place / putting a damp cloth on it overnight. This trick has
certainly helped me several times when the thread is brittle because it has
dried out

I previously kept thread but discovered that even with careful keeping, most
thread only has a limited life as I do too. So the chance of using a some
left over wound bobbins is very small.
I recently got some cotton thread out that was over 10 years old but had
been carefully stored. It wound well but as soon as I put any form of
tension on it, it simply broke.
