Double slip knot works for me. It does a better job of locking the loop down to reduce the amount it can loosen (or tighten). I find that this is enough, even with slippery nylon blends.

Check the follow-up post with a link to Nate Martsolf’s IG. His signature Zipline string is a (IMO) particularly slippery nylon blend.
