What you could do if you want to rescue it is remove the backing, iron it as flat as possible, then fuse a light interfacing to it. You wouldn't have to worry about the fraying pieces and if you attempt to take it apart you may lose more than you think. Then just back it with a fleece and tie it, or whatever your preference is.
Now this sounds like a reasonable plan! and putting fleece for the backing is a terrific idea!
