Gilet in ***lana macro fiammata***, bianco e nero

I know that lana fiammata is brushed wool, but can this be translated as macro-brushed wool?

brushed macro wool
Explanation:
I think (not 100% sure) that the 'macro' bit refers to the wool as opposed to the method of brushing (see links, which refer to 'macro boucle' in both English and Italian).
