Material in river (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tweed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'material' is the first definition.
(I know that tweed is a type of material)

'river' is the second definition.
(river in Scotland)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tweed that I've seen before include "rough stuff" , "Fabric; river" , "Flower on border" , "Thick woollen cloth - northern river" , "Flow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
