Definitions
A British term for a decorative fabric cover placed over a spare toilet roll, usually crocheted or knitted, often in the shape of a doll or novelty figure. The loo roll cosy (or cozy) sits somewhere between kitschy home decor and a grandmother's craft project — it's charming to some and deeply uncool to others. It represents a very specific strand of British domestic culture that was peak in the 1970s–80s but still surfaces at craft fairs and charity shops.
She won second prize at the village fete with her loo roll cosy shaped like a Victorian lady in a crocheted crinoline.
