Nylon string guitar experts

The lovely Mrs. Mod Bod has requested that I fix her classical style guitar and order her a new set of strings so that she can play it again.  The fix was an easy one and all I had to do was to order a screw to replace the (metric) one that fell out of the tuning peg.
 
She wants Saverez strings with a wound B string.  I need a little direction here.  (Meaning a link I can click on so that I don't order a plain B string like I did in the past.)
 
Help a brother out.  I bet Bayou Bill has this down pat.

    Well I played classical for years but I never came across a wound B. Sure she didn't mean a wound G?

    I prefer the Savarez 520P3 with the wound G. They're my favorites.

    Yeah, I saw those but the B is not wound in the 520P3 set which was the requirement.
