Might try a bread tag as a clothespin to see how well it works.
I had never heard of the bread tag as clothespin thing, but it may have resolved a mystery. On family trips, after we have packed up, the last thing we do on a site a “Ten pieces of trash”; each of us picks up ten pieces of trash.
We pick up any obvious stuff during our stay, and on a clean site finding ten pieces of trash can be a challenge. Those ten pieces usually include a mix of frayed scrap rope ends, caps from fuel cans or bottles, stray shreds of plastic bags. . . . . .and bread tags. Always bread tags.
I just use a doubled/twisted rope as a clothesline; a clothesline rope with another cord twisted a couple dozen times in a helix around the first and pulled taut. Just stick the pant legs, shirt arms, socks or bandana through the twist and let the wind blow.
