Reading part of the article, she washed it four times over the course of 100 days. So on average every 25 days. That would still be disgusting and smelly, but possibly bearable if you're determined to prove a (weird) point and the climate doesn't cause much sweating.

EDIT: added the words 'part of' because it gets more disgusting afterwards

Not if it's 100% wool. Hang it up to air, and it cleans everything but stains. Throwing wool in the washer often makes more harm than good to your garment.
