Purple windings?

I'm looking for the BRAND of a set of strings that my guitarist gave me. They're perfect for my tone and fingerstyle.

They're rounds and have a dull, nickel finish,(similar to XL170's) with PURPLE cloth windings at each end.

I looked, not too long, for them but no avail. Search always brings me to upright strings.

Thanks in advance.

I have a set of GHS flats that are purple at the ends.

Ken Smith Compressor wounds - nickle windings, roundwound look and feel, purple wraps.
Great strings.

Or any Ken Smith Stainless sets. AMAZING strings.

Smiths are made by GHS, correct?

They are Smith's. If they are dull looking my guess would be nickel. I have a set on one of my Sadowsky's. Great strings!!!
