Weaving Room of Crossnore School, also known as Home Spun House, is a historic school building located at Crossnore, Avery County, North Carolina. It was built in 1936, and is a -story, banked, vaguely Rustic Revival-style building constructed of randomly mortared river rock. It was built to house the weaving program of the Crossnore School, an orphanage with an industrial and vocational training program.[1]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

The building is now home to the Crossnore Weavers and Crossnore Fine Arts Gallery, a fine art gallery, weaving studio with museum exhibits, and retail shop that benefits that Crossnore School, a private children's home.[2] [3]
