After 4 tries I think I finally have a thread that works! And it turns out to be the original thread, London Fog by Weeks, but the 3rd dye lot I found. The one that came with the kit had way too much of that cedar-y green, the old one I found in my stash was too light, most of it being the same color as the linen, and the 3rd choice, from Stoney Creek, was JUST RIGHT. I also had tried a skein of Joshua Tree from Classic Colorworks but it was too olive. At last!
