In general, does going down a needle size increase or decrease yardage required for a knit project?

Long story is that I started the Summer Solstice shawl by Woolenberry. Based on my gauge swatch, I went up a needle size which is pretty typical for me. I used a size 7 instead of the suggested size 6 needle. Pattern gauge is 20 stitches/4”. The pattern says 360 yards is needed of C1. I have 400 yards and ran short well before completing the last section using that color. I have started over with a size 6 needle which feels and looks better even though I get gauge with both 6 & 7 needles. I’m pretty sure I can easily modify the pattern if I run short of C1 again but am curious as to how needle size affects yardage requirements. I can’t quite wrap my brain around that one. Thanks!
