I think the difference is more marketing than anything. Like ktbb said, wovens are technically any fabric made on a loom rather than knitted or felted. But in the quilt shop they were any fabric with a more visible weave- shot cottons, homespuns, ikats, sometimes even gauzes were all lumped under wovens at various times. Homespuns were just any thread-dyed fabric that wasn't an ikat.
