Unraveled serving is pretty much a normal wear and tear issue. Your best bet would be to get a serving tool, a spool of serving, and learn how to do it yourself. Replacing the entire string is probably not necessary.
Otherwise, LBR, the moderater here, makes some of the best Flemish strings you'll find.

Nows the time to learn how to serve a sting and learn to make one as well. Really not that hard..and a lot of fun when you finally get one made that is the right length, LOL.

Good Luck
