Aquila’s New Nylgut® strings are made from a plastic compound made of three synthetic components, the first genuine synthetic gut string in the world. These smooth white strings offer a rich, neutral tone that sounds similar to genuine gut strings, with a loud projection. New Nylgut® strings stay in tune longer, offer more accurate fret intonation, and are very stable through moisture changes.

I already knew the strings, and like them on all my ukuleles. The email I received had a link that took me to a Kala web page that wouldn't refer me to a page at the teaser price, so Kala registered the order as another set of strings. What arrived tn the mail, however, was 4 strings for an entirely different instrument. The Kala rep (named 'Ash' Ashley? Ashanti? Ashtoreth?) finally straightened things out. Well done, girl!
(I did note, though, that other places sold the same string set for about half Kala's price.)
