Pure Nickel Strings

I currently use Fender's pure nickel roundwound strings. I'm having a hard time finding any other brands that sell PURE nickel strings - aka NO nickel plated steel. I like them for their warmer tone and softer feel. Any suggestions on different brands that I could use other than the Fenders?

The DR Jonas Hellborg signature string are single wrap, pure nickel. I'm sure there are others, but the DRs and the Fenders are the only ones I know of.

There's always TI flats if you're looking for flats, but other than what's been mentioned, I think that's it.

Rotosound makes a pure nickel roundwound, I think. Similar to the Fenders; maybe a little brighter. I have not ever been able to find out if they are pure nickel, or just nickel plated steel.

I'm curious to hear what the Fender all nickel rounds are like now that D'Addario makes them. To my knowledge, this is the first all nickel string D'Addario has made.
