I’ve done this for the last few years and the results are usually excellent. The only problem is that the patterns don’t seem to transfer evenly over the entire egg. I wonder if that is due to the silk fabric shifting and losing contact with the egg. If the outside wrap were snugger then maybe the egg would stay in contact with the fabric. I’ve used old cotton pillowcases in the past as the outer wrap but going to try it with old nylon hose to get a snugger fit.

@Mommy69 As far as I know, it has to be silk! But if you try it with another fabric and it works – let me know!
