What is a Liquorice Allsort?
A liquorice allsort is a type of confectionery made from liquorice and various other ingredients, formed into different layers and shapes. These sweets typically feature a combination of colours and textures, including layers of liquorice with coconut rolls, aniseed jelly, and various sugar coatings. The confectionery was first produced in the United Kingdom by Bassett’s in Sheffield in the late 19th century and has since become a popular sweet in many countries. The variety within a pack of liquorice allsorts includes pieces with distinct appearances and flavours, making them appealing to a wide audience.
A Liquorice Allsort doll is a toy inspired by the colourful and varied shapes of Liquorice Allsorts sweets. These dolls capture the fun and quirky look of the candies, often with bright colours and unique patterns.
Children are drawn to Liquorice Allsort dolls because they are colourful and fun to look at. The variety in patterns and shapes mirrors the excitement of picking out sweets, making these dolls visually appealing and engaging.
These dolls are special because they embody the joy and playfulness associated with sweets, without the sugar! They represent creativity and the pleasure of enjoying something simple and fun.
We love them so much because they bring a sense of nostalgia and happiness. They remind adults of childhood memories associated with sweets, while offering kids a playful and imaginative toy.
Knitting a Liquorice Allsort doll allows you to create a personal and unique toy. It’s a way to engage in a creative activity, producing something colourful and fun. Knitting one can be a joyful project, resulting in a toy that carries a sense of achievement and affection.
