Uh, maybe not.

If we're talking DC levels, sure, no problem.  Low rate signalling just 
won't matter.

At audio levels, the shielding from twisting the wires might be helpful.

If we're actually using them for Ethernet, then the twisted pairs aren't 
wires, they're transmission lines.  100 megabit ethernet is running at 
100 megahertz.

Wire the cable randomly and you don't have twisted pairs (transmission 
lines) at VHF frequencies (or above).
