This looks like it could be something from Noro. I had some 100% wool in that exact colorway. Not sure mine was as shiny as yours (and shininess could indicate percentage of nylon). Have you done a fiber/burn test?

Trim off a bit and light it on fire. If it crunches, it's a natural fiber. If it forms a hard ball, it's synthetic. Burnt wool will smell like burnt hair and burnt cotton has a more pleasant smell.
