Pop filter is to prevent "p" sounds from clipping.
Personally, if you can't find or buy one, just put a sock over the mike.

I would disagree with it begin a necessity! It is a very nice add-on to your set up but by no means the most important thing! The blue yeti in itself is a very good mic.

Pop filter won't be needed with Blue Yeti, just maintain a good distance between you and the mic.

I've got a blue yeti, and while a pop filter would be a good addition, it isn't strictly necessary as it is a fairly good microphone to begin with. A prop filter would be a nice investment though

in reply to your pop filter question, keep a good distance away from the mic and you should be fine. But the pop filter is also there to stop those wind sounds coming from you breath near the mic. If you use a wire hanger and a sock or some tights they can sometimes make a good pop filter 
But you know, I get professional sounding sound from my microphone and its just a rockband mic attached with a mic stand to eliminate shake. Nearly any mic can sound good with some good audio editing in audacity.
Use Compression, Equalisation, Noise Removal and sometimes Dynamics Processor and your laptop mic could sound good :-D
