    I bought a used guitar and it came with strings from two different makers. I really dig how they are sounding and playing. The low string (E, A, D) are obviously D’Addario chromes, given that the ball end are color coded. I do not know what the high strings are. The have a purple thread.
    Thank you.

    Wow... the unknown strings. The only strings I have found, that are similar, are ernnie ball cobalt bass strings. Did ernnie ball make flatwound strings for guitars at one point?

    I think GHS use / used purple silk winding on some flat wound sets.

    My La Bella 11-50 jazz flats have purple windings. The La Bella purple looks like a slightly darker purple though!
