    I guess any of them could if the order was sufficient but the problem they would have is matching Wilsons' yarn shades in the fleece. One would then need to have an idea of the intended outcome of a mixed yarn which is course what tweed is. Wilsons only wove with solid colour yarn for their tartan or any of the the other types of cloth they wove. I've never seen any Wilsons' tweed nor do I think they wove it..
