String Blanket There were s on Wish.com for a blanket that looked like it was made of thick yarn. She discovered the blanket was a little more... It was more deconstructed than anticipated when she got it, though. Wish has received terrible reviews for the blanket, so it's likely that other buyers have experienced the same thing. Wish.com "strictly prohibits" the sale of counterfeit goods, but there have been reports of such products appearing on the website. Wish.com has been associated with these endearing, if undesired, mix-ups since the online merchant appears to be having trouble keeping up.
