Cheaper than tying a proper knot, hum...

A proper knot might hold or might fail. In the event of failure, a
single ruined garment is likely to cost more to replace than a length of
washing line.

There's a big assumption being made here; that is, that the line broke
(or that longer lengths are available). Perhaps they want it longer than
commonly available lengths...

I've not used a washing line for many years.
